they arrived just about a half hour before my arranged time to visit with Loretta. When she opened her door - she was so shocked to see me standing there with roses. When I told her to please sit down or lay down - she laughed. She said OK and did - then we got to looking at the card that came with the roses, 1st off - it said: Dear Miss Loretta, the CUTE family love you. Veronika cuteembroidery.com! It all but made both of our eyes leak. Then she and I opened the rest of the cards and packages - she was so tickled to think that so many had thought about her this week, too. I tried to get her to let me take some pictures of her, but to no avail - she did let me take this snapshot of the roses - as long as I promised that I would point it at her. Hehehe! What a lovely bouquet of flowers Loretta has today - don't you think. Thank you Veronika for caring about Loretta, too! What a great lady you are.

All I can say is "WOW"!!! I bet if Jrob was to attempt another cute song--it would be all about LOVE-LOVE-LOVE!! Aren't we a pitiful group of sisters (and Brother) with enough love to hold the world up high. Gosh--What if everyone in the world felt this love like we do? It would be FANTASTIC!!!!
2375Oh dear Shirlene, I feel so bad because I couldn't send anything to Loretta, but at the same time, I feel so happy 'cause you went able to visit her and brought to her all the love that she deserve, and for the beautiful person that Veronika is (I know it for sure 'cause she did something for me too). Thank you so much dear, you are an Angel. Flower and XoXo
44254Thank you each for stopping by and checking out the new info - isn't it just awesome? I think so!!!
211079Oh Shirlener, This is all so heart warming that I can not even put into works what I feel for all involved. I love Veronika and all the wonderful "Cute" family she has created. I know how special it is because of all she does for us, and all the new people that come to this site and stay. I know she gives us free designs, however, the reason I keep coming back is all the love here. Hugs and flowers.

16434This site is full of such special people. Miss Loretta is so special and has touched all of our lives, even Cuties who don't even know her. Shirlene, you too are special to visit as a representative of all the Cuties. And, lastly, Veronika is really a very special person and that is why this site is what it is - it all starts with Veronika, who is so generous and caring. Each of you is special too. *'s for all.

742965What Veronika and yourself have done are wonderful. Loretta is a most blessed woman.It is so humbling to know that from a simple site on the internet gives so much.What was a simple business for someone is now a great comforta for many not just is daily life but also in the life of someone who won't be with us much longer and it must give Loretta much peace to know that there is a world of people out there that love and value her for the short time that she was able to be here and share a little of herself. With us.
I know that our Heavenly father is grateful to Veronika for opening up this world of nations and allowing us all to feel this great love and compasion for Loretta and to you also for carrying the messages so others can be part of the process of preparing her for the next life . Thanks Shirlen and Veronika.

18167You all render me speechless more often than I ever thought possible. Shirlene, thanks so much for taking our love to Loretta, and Veronika, the greatness of your heart is almost more than I can bear. To send roses to our Loretta, what a wonderful thing to do! I started giving her flowers here on the site, thinking that bouquet would cheer her, and here Veronika sent her a real one from us. Ok, that's it, I'm bawling again. Thanks to both of you, perhaps I can write more later. My love to you all, Marji

Well, she couldn't remember the last visit, but I think she was a bit confused, as Friday's are a busy day for her - with people coming in and out from Hospice.
34304Veronika, I know that we did not show up here by accident. Now I am beginning to wonder if you showed up as an answer to prayers. The roses you sent were such a beautiful, kind gesture. I feel as if I know you and even though we haven't met, I would know your heart anywhere. Thank you again, and again, and again. ;)
Shirlene, you are very generous to take the gift to Miss Loretta from the Cute Family members. Thank you for your kindness.

16513Wow! I have been the direct recipient of kindness from Miss Veronika, and I am not surprised by this, but it does touch my heart. Your Kindness to Miss Loretta also touches my heart. I just tell you, the more time passes, the more I see how different this group is to others. People do really care, and try to make a difference. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I know that, because God has told me so! Do you know the name of Jesus's Mother? It was Mary!
20498Both you and Veronika are great people. Actually, this cute family is full of wonderful people. Those flowers are so nice. What are the other gifts that Miss Loretta received? I just don't know how you keep from leaking. I spring a leak just thinking about it.

Oh Donna Lee, you are so sweet - yes the CUTE family is a wonderful bunch of people. The other things ranged from angels (several different ones, crochet, fsl embroidery and even one stained glass angel) and post cards from the country a fsl star and a postcard/notepad set with a pen. Everyone has been wonderful and she really was overwhelmed with love and joy for everyone.
8045thank you for this shirlene that makes me so happy
