This message goes out to Todd and
all of my dearest TM friends.
On Saturday afternoon, our dear
Pam Montz passed away in the hospital. She had been complaining to
me about her shoulder and arm pain for over a week. I believe it was
her left arm, but I am not sure. I don't even know what to
write.
I have no details at this
time. Linda Cherpenski is calling Dan to see what is going on and
will let us know either by phone or email. One of us will get back
to you.
Pam and I were extremely
close. She called me every single day just to check on me and
chat. We exchanged friendship gifts, matching earrings, which I will
never wear again or I will put them on and never take them off.
Which one should I do???
I want to take this time to tell
you that each and every one of you is dear to me. Your names,
pictures and emails are etched onto my heart and I will carry them with me
forever.
Pam is in the wings of the Angels,
on her way to the Promised Land in the world of Jesus Christ. I know
that she is Catholic. I would like to begin a fund for TM research
in her name. Where do I begin??? How much can we raise in her
name??? I hope that you will all be as generous as
possible.
I will begin the donation with
$300.00. Who will either match me, do me better, or simply send what
you can??? When you make your donation make it out to:
The Pamela Montz
Foundation for Transverse Myelitis Research
and I will discuss with Jim Lubin
about the best way to handle the donations. One of us will get back
to the List.
As "Tiny Tim" once
said,
"God Bless Us
Everyone"
Love,
Jude

Thank you,
Janice, for this topic.
I was a
accountant clerk. I had made the third layoffs of my
company, leaving me to be the last accountant clerk for two
companies. I had two wonderful bosses and worked 15
mins from home.
TM hit me a
few weeks before my 38th birthday.
After 3 years
with TM and it didn't look like I would be returning back to work
any time soon. We had been going to Corpus Christi, Texas
once a month to see friends and with the gas prices, we decided to
retired in CC, TX.
Would like to
return to work, but how to & keep up the PT at the same
time?
I too,
live on Social Security
disability and Long Term disability.
Hope everyone
is doing what makes them happy right now,
Todd in CC,
TX

Hi Guys!
I have been curious about something for a while and since
things have kind of slowed down, want to ask you all what you
did
before TM hit and if you were able to go back to it or if
you are doing something
new.
I am including even those who just read these
emails and don't usually
respond. I would like to hear from everybody
and would think all of us would be interested. I
will start:
I was a school nurse's secretary/assistant in a large high
school for 19 years. I absolutely loved it -
everyday was different, as
you can imagine working with high schoolers!
Our school nurse was gone a lot to other schools we were
responsible for, so
I was left alone quite a bit and handled many different
situations. I was well trained for this and it was
great.
Janice
