Lending a Helping Hand

  We have been saddened by Linda's heartbreaking loss. But it was such a great show of love and friendship to have Master Gardeners show up to dig and move plants for Linda on Thursday. Who would ever have thought  that we could have moved hundreds of plants on February 2nd.  I have copied Carolyn's email....I think she summed it up perfectly!

To all -   I was almost overwhelmed by the turnout at Linda's home yesterday.  We had 16 folks who came for all or part of the day and over a dozen more who could not come either because they worked, were out of town, or had a commitment they could not get out of.  We got so much done - then had a wonderful "pot luck" lunch and sat and enjoyed the almost perfect day the Lord provided for us.  We sat and talked and laughed and enjoyed the sun on our faces.  I think that was good for Linda. 

The love and concern from the group was almost palpable.  I feel like this is the heart and soul of the Master Gardener Organization and am pleased and proud to be associated with this group of wonderful people.  I'm sure the response would be just as good for any of us that had a need. 

Thanks again to all who came out to help - and thanks to all who have offered their thoughts and prayers to Linda. 

- and my love to all,

Carolyn
