Posted on 12-24 with additional for Oregon ladies.
Keta is an amazing person, it really shows her character that in her time of grief, she takes the time to think of others and warn them, so that another mother does not have to go through what she is.
Please do not send Keta pm's. Let's keep all messages on one post, her original post. And also, please quit googling her and do not try to contact the family, or add her on fb. She does not want flowers, as they die. Please just keep it all on the nest, if she gets on again, she will see it.
I posted on her original post and immediately deleted my picture of Jack, I knew seeing him would be hard for her. The fact that other mothers thought to do it also, shows how supportive everyone is on here. I know she will really appreciate it. The badge was very sweet and I know you spent a lot of time on it. At this time, I think it would be more significant and easier for her to read through the messages without seeing a reminder of what she lost. Maybe the badge can be added on Monday during the time of silence.
I have not spoken to Keta. I did talk to her best friend and she was blown away by how many people want to contribute to a memorial fund for them and thinks it is a really great idea. As soon as I know anything more, I will post it immediately. Please do not start any paypal accounts until I know exactly what they want to do, so that there is just one.
Please do not fight ladies, if Keta does get on, I would hate for her to see people fighting over siggies. I know deleting stuff is a huge no no but, I think no one would mind if those posts are deleted.
Hug your children extra tight and please keep Keta, her husband and family in your thoughts and prayers. Sorry, if I rambled and thank you all.

Hi ladies, I am not sure if Keta has ever been on the Oregon board? I use to frequent the boards in fact, I organized the first get together at Starbucks on 82nd back when I was in the 3rd tri. I think it is awesome that you ladies meet once a month! I hope to join you all sometime in the future.
Keta is a close friend of mine, she was a bridesmaid for me. We have known each other for over 8 years. I am devastated for her, I have called her and left a message but, have not heard from her and am not sure I will. Seeing Jack would just be to much for her and I understand that.
The funeral is next week, I am waiting for more details. It will be for just close family and friends. I think it is so thoughtful that you all want to help but, I am asking you to please not try to contact her, send flowers, cards, bring meals, etc. From what I have heard, they do not want anyone to do that.
Thank you ladies and if anyone wants to contact me or has any other questions my email is fire0513fly@aol.

Weird-totally just paged you on the 12-24 board.
I'm so very sorry for her loss, and your grief as a close friend of hers. I went through something similar with my best friend in August, and it's so hard but the best thing you can do is just be there for her (as I'm sure you will be.)
She hasn't come on the board as far as I know, but I've only been on this board about 5-6 months. Again, please let us know what we can do to help.Learning to start all over again... Blog
