I need some suggestion for a get well card

[Mikey P]

One of our very best clients (72 invoices, 24k, $335 average) is fighting cancer

We want to send some flowers to her business and I'm at a loss for words

None of us are they praying/religious type and everything I can google up sounds lame.

She shows up at 1:58 in this video





@Jim Pemberton Im counting on YOU>>>

Would be a religious card from me even if I wasn't religious...if she is.
Other wise a blank card with a nice picture and you writing in the style only you can about her and the length of time and changes that will always happen. Maybe the strength we gain through the difficult times in our lives and ...
If there is anything we can do...because there might be and that would be help of the best kind.

A personal visit would mean more to her. Not some stupid card

 

[DAT]

Consolations from the heart never need to have a religious tone...lots of ways to write to show love and appreciation.

This is Mikey we’re talking about.

 

[Jimmy L]

Yeah I get it, something impersonal is more in line with him.

Perhaps to make it personal he can give her a pedicure with those big goofy looking hands.

We saw her over the weekend..

I'll try and stop by on Friday AM when I roll through town

KMA, I'm the most personal human any of you idiots know.

 

[Andy]

Next time you clean for her Just tell her she is going through enough this one is on us.

 

[Old Coastie]

Bob and Andy have the right idea.

Let me add that illness isolates. The idea that her home isn't as it should be demoralizes. Proactively set up a cleaning once she is in the blades, and from there just tell her you'll be calling each month, in case she needs a touch up.

You may get an appreciative rejection, but do it anyway. People who actually take time to visit or do for shut ins are very few and far between. Be one.

 

[Cleanworks]

Flowers are usually appreciated. Let Paula pick them out and make she is able to receive them when delivered. A cute sympathy card expressing your hopes for a full recovery.

 

[hogjowl]

Take her a casserole and some sweet tea

You won't even buy me lunch!

 

[hogjowl]

You’re not dying rapidly enough

 

[Old Coastie]

Let me know when to bring fried chicken and tater salad.

And party poppers.

 

[PrimaDonna]

Just reaching out in anyway tonlet her know she's not alone will mean the world.

There is no "wrong" thing to do in this situation. Just do what feels right/natural to YOU and know it will be appreciated.

Thank you Meg, you beat any of the suggestions I sent to Mike.

My mother lost her father and her second husband in a year's time. She told me something about that experience, and the comfort people extended, that has stuck with me for 20 years.

"I don't remember a thing anyone told me at the funeral home, in their cards, or when they visited. I was in too much emotional turmoil to process words.
I just remember that they were there, or that they sent them. That's what counted."

 

[Mikey P]

Like I said, I'll be riding through SCruz this Friday, I'll stop buy and see here around 6AM when she is opening her restaurant.
