I am so glad to see that everyone is enjoying Love To Cook!  This forum has really grown and I know I refer back to it often for helpful recipes and tips. I need to ask a favor of all of you.  As recipes are added, PLEASE post in an existing category if there is one that that fits or make a new category for your recipe. This would make searching for recipes much easier.  And as you know from reading any of my posts, the easier the better works for me!  THANKS MUCH!!

The love, prayers, voicemails, emails, flowers, plants, words of encouragement & support received were very much appreciated by the family.  It means so much to all of us to know that you are there for us during our time of need. 

In Kathleen's honor, I have one additional request to ask of you. Please call your doctor and schedule a colonoscopy now.  Colon cancer screening is typically not suggested by your doctor until the age of 50. However, more than 13,000 colorectal cancer cases are diagnosed each year in people under the age of 50. I am asking that each of you take action and schedule a colonoscopy now.  Don’t wait.  Colon cancer typically has no symptoms until it is in Stage 4 which then it has spread beyond the colon and is difficult to treat. My sister was diagnosed on January 2, 2007.  It was only 1 year and 15 days later that she lost her battle at the young age of 48.  More information on colorectal cancer is available on: http://www.eifoundation.org/national/nccra/about_cc/curable.html
