    Friends,
    Most of you are not aware that I have been the caretaker for my daughter for the past two and half years. My daughter Libra passed away on Tuesday, Nov. 27. She was 39, and was diagnosed with cervical cancer in July of 2005. I have not decided what I will do regarding the Mandozine Web site and radio station. Please understand that the site and station may not be updated as frequently as I would like.

    John,
    I am so sorry for your loss. Web sites pale in comparison. Any words I offer feel trite and cliched- you and your daughter are in our hearts.

    John, I'm so sorry. Please take care of yourself. The web can wait.
    Though I can't do much, drop me a line anytime. I can at least "listen" to your words...

    John, I found your site before I even discovered the Cafe. Thank you for hosting it and know that you are in the prayers of many folks who don't even know you. Sincere condolences to everyone who loved Libra.

    John,

    You are a wonderful, caring and giving human being and what you do is not as important as who you are. Much love is yours and more.

    John...I am sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine losing any of my kids. Life is not supposed to work that way, but sometimes it does. We will pray for you and your family. As stated before, web sites are not the most important thing in life. God bless you!
    Have a Great Day!

    John,

    There isn't much anyone can say that would be comforting at this time, but we are with you in spirit and mourn your loss. Nothing can replace that loss, but our thoughts and prayers are with you.
