By the way, if you have never met Robin, she is in Wave 3 for Conference also.
 
Thanks for posting this. This is very sad. I don't know if this can be done or not but can you e-mail me or post here an e-mail or snail mail address so we can send her a sympathy card? I don't know what the protocol is on this. I just think she would appreciate knowing that her extended Pampered Chef family is thinking of her.
 
Excellent idea, Harriet. I'd like that info, too, if possible. Grief shared is a burden lessened.
 
If I hear anything Rae I'll be sure to pass it on to you.
 
Thanks, Harriet. I knew I could count on you.
 
How incredibly sad. I'm sure you can send it to Home Office and they can forward it to her?

Thanks. I hope you see this Rae!
 
This is so horrible. I'm just 5 deep from her, and have met her many times. She has a really rough last couple of years with personal issues, and this just adds to everything already going on. She will definitely be in my prayers. Thank you for letting us know...

I know the last 2 years or so have been so difficult for her but, she will survive and move on with even more strength. She is a truely amazing woman and we are all blessed to know her. Maybe the rest of 2007 will be an amazing year for her.
 
How devastating - my heart goes out to her.
 
I am in Robin's 3rd line and have talked to her many times. She is very sweet and a great lady. I will send my condolences. This just breaks my heart!:(
 
I just can't imagine. That just breaks my heart and I will definitely keep her in my prayers.

Saw it. Thanks, Harriet!
 
I mapquest every show directions, no matter how many times I've been there, no matter if its my best friends home, and print it and put it in the file. I put my starting mileage on the page and ending mileage when i get home. If I have to go back to close the show I write it again--that way I have a record of my mileage. I'm terrible about keeping a log, but that way I could recreate it if I needed to. I add them up at the end of the year for taxes. Same thing with training mileage for meetings, etc. Better than nothing.
