I will be matter of fact here and to follow, for the obvious, emotional reason. It was Labor Day 2008 when I moved to NEPA. Yes. I am a transplant however, I am not a drug dealer, gang banger, thief, poor citizen. I am a mom. It was 9 months, 2 days ago that my 20 year old son died from sudden heart death. During these past months, my life forever drastically changed and, at times feeling as if I was on the North Pole with no one in sight. There was. yes, there was after all. I joined an online support group. The moms and dads that post there saved my sanity. ( course that could be debatable :-)). In an effort to remember our children and to raise money for various causes; scholarships, medical research, free clothing stores for the needy... my online group asked each member to design and mail a 12" by 18" banner in remembrance of our children to be displayed at such an event.

How does one capture the essence and life of our children? I'll tell you. I had some help. i submitted a design to Sign a Rama on 315s. Shortly thereafter i received a call from Lynn and I scheduled an appointment. Not only did Lynn take the time to view several choices of design with me, she paused when I paused, said nothing as my mind drifted away in memory. What sincere compassion.

Today I picked up my sons banner. It is beautiful and with a look you can "see" my son. I was a little short sighted in my time frame but Sign a Rama came through. My tears flowed again and so did those of Lynn's.
When I read CD I have noticed that when there is something good to say about a business, the posters here let the rest of us know about it. At this time I would like to commend Sign a Rama for a job well done
Thank You
And to the posters here, thank you as well. You have been my company during these hard, grief stricken months, I wanted you to know.

I give you this one thought to keep -
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning's hush
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone -
I am with you still - in each new dawn.

Your Child will not be forgotten, not by their friends, family, the nursing staff and doctors that met them in the hospitals, and never ever forgotten by you. And while life will never be the same, how could it? IT will be better than it feels today. It is a dicotamy of many events and emotions.

Ohveryyoung, Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.

It is amazing how on line communities can support us in times of profound grief. I'm glad you posted. Stay with us.

Thank you for the time you invested making a positive referral. The 'Lynns' in this world have more positive impact than they can ever know.

Blessings and peace.
