        Lisa – By far (far far far) – The MPIP family helped us so much during those days.  We will both always remember the love and support that you and everyone here provided.  I remember the sad the posts but for some reason, the positive ones stick out (and, LOL, some of the Darkside ones as well).   Smiling – I remember this one member who was so fixated on Flax seed.  Then there was Faith (whom I miss by the way).

        Darcy recently started a Sun Safety page on Facebook (oops, I forget the name but if you search for me or Darcy Dumaine you'll find it).

        I will definitely give her your best –

        Always in my thoughts and prayers,

            Hey Janner!  I (we) certainly remember you – your clear analysis of the medical techie reports.  Thank you!

            It's a amazing, the numbers were so terrible at IIIc – while on the outside we had hope, inside we kept thinking the worst.

            Here were are many years later – healthy and best friends.

            All the best,

                        Thank you!  I remember always wondering whatever happened to "so-in-so".   I promised I'd check in and let folks know people do survive MEL.  Even stage IIIc.  The prognosis rates, in reality are 0 or 100%.  We lived so long thinking, 27% chance of survival sucks. 

                        Good luck, good living Boot

                                Darcy's been speaking to middle school kids for a few years.  She also worked with the Shade Foundation to secure a shade structure for our kid's elementary school.
