Hey everyone who still happens to be checking this blog. Andrea here. My dad told me about a contest hosted by kidneycancer.org to promote awareness of kidney cancer. So I made this video for the contest, and to keep the memory of my mom alive. The more views it gets, the better chance we have of winning the contest. So view it as often as you please, and forward it to your friends and family if you like. Thanks for your help!

Ok, Andrea - So that was amazing! And the tears are flowing! I am so glad that you decided to make that video! Each time you shared something about your mom, there was an ACTION word! She most certainly did not give up! I can't believe how much she gave to all of us who were blessed to be part of her life! Thank you for giving us all a chance to see her in action and hear her voice! I love her!

Andrea,
What a wonderful movie. Tears are rolling down.....She accomplished so much in her life and yet, you are right, there was just not enough time. We all wish that there could have been more..........
Love Heather

Andrea,
You are right, it wasn't long enough. I still can't grasp that your mom isn't with us and can only imagine what more she could have done. A beautiful tribute, thank you for sharing it with us. It is so nice to see her again, I miss her.
Love you,
Mary Jane
Andrea,

Jim and Andrea We are so thankful for the blog and for the opportunity of knowing Linda personally. She was wonderful in life and we pray for her and her family daily. God bless all of you. Love you Frank and Dottie
Andrea-that was so wonderful....it made me cry; but it was a good cry with smiles and laughs hidden in the tears. Thank you for sharing this!
Thanks for sharing the memories again...the pictures, the videos, and the voice. Great job! Yesterday was Maggy's birthday and she always made sure that I smiled that day. I really missed her then and now. With all these snow days, I am also missing the late breakfast get-togehers we managed on those days. Thanks for making me smile through the tears.

Andrea,
This is wonderful. I'll send it to lots of people, many of whom, though the didn't know Linda, learned of her from us. Linda's great spirit continues to fill the world with joy through all of you.
Love,

Andrea,
You are your mother's daughter. This was amazing... moving... and inspiring. Just like your mom. We miss her on Trestle.
Andrea, that was beautiful, inspiring, touching...in other words, it was Linda! It really meant a lot to see and hear her again. She is so greatly missed...but I see her in all those other faces shown in the video too! Thank you so very much for the gift of this video!
Love ya!

Today is May 18th. I am sure we are all thinking about and missing Linda this week as we remember the wonderful birthday party last year. If anyone reads this comment, how about we all submit a Linda moment or memory that celebrates her life.
Here's mine ...It may sound crazy, but I believe it with all my heart!!!!
Every morning I light a candle to welcome Linda's presence. Somedays I fell her more than others, but it's a wonderful way to begin your day. Two weeks ago, I hoped that it would be a day that I truly felt her presence. I was really missing her! When I welcomed her, I got a spontaneous answer in my heart that she was busy and couldn't sit with me because she was meeting Ghandi. It was so Linda, that I knew it was her talking to me. It was a GREAT feeling!!!!!!

That was beautiful!
I was just perusing different blogs and stumbled on this one - the video is beautiful and such a lovely memento - my thoughts and prayers go out to you all xx
Hi,
