Prayers for Vonna and her Family

[ArtBuMPs]

I would like to ask all to pray for Vonna and her family.

Vonna's son Johnathan died sometime during the night last night at their home.  At this time I do not know why he died, but I believe it was in his sleep, and that hopefully he did not suffer.

Vonna has been an unfailing friend to all of us here on TAM, and is a wonderful source of support, encouragement and laughter.  I ask that we all observe a moment of silence in honor of Johnathan, send our prayers to  Vonna and her family, or support her in any way that we can.

Thank you all so much.

OMG...I just PM'ed her asking what she has been up to...and then read this thread...I am soooo sad for her...that is awful! Vonna is such a great & talented friend!  I can't even begin to imagine what she is going through!
Vonna and her family are in my thoughts and prayers!!!!

I am so sorry to hear this. How devastating. Yes, certainly, major prayers and white light going out to you, Vonna. My heart aches for you and your family.

[ArtBuMPs]

Thank you so much Mrs Boss!!!
I know, I was about to call her to ask a totally selfish favor when she called me with the news...

I know that she appreciates your friendship and support!

Thank you Madamebead!

Words just fail me. I'm sick to my stomach over this dreadful news.

Bumpy one, would you please extend my love and condolences to Vonna and her family in this very sad time.

Vonna, I just love you so much, you are such a dear friend to me.... words fail me at this time.  You and your family are in my prayers... and we are all here for you if you need anything.

[St. Anger]

Arty, thank you so much for posting this.

Vonna and I began a friendship here on TAM when I was having trouble with my 20 yr old and she pm'd me for support.  We swapped stories, cussed and laughed.  We've been friends ever since.  She'd emailed me her phone number a couple of months ago and said to call her if I needed anything.  This afternoon, she emailed me a very short note telling me about Jon.  I was stunned!  I knew I had to call her.  I did and we cried together for awhile.  She is sooo raw and walking in a fog, or some kind of unbelievable nightmare. 

I am heartbroken for her.

Vonna, call me day or night.  My love and support are here for you.

Mandy,

Thank you!  I certainly will!

I will be sure to let her know of all your well wishes!
When she is up to it, I know that she will be in here thanking you all herself!  She is such a strong woman wrapped up in that petite body, so full of life and energy that she amazes me...

Thank you Celadon, I know...me too...

Holly, I am so glad that you called her!
I was so stunned when she called that words utterly failed me.  I couldn't believe it.  Yesterday he seemed fine, we all had lunch...
I never expected this!

Vonna,

Remember the night we were on the phone for hours. We made beads and talked about like everything.
I can't express in words the feelings you must be going thru. You are a beautiful woman with a heart of gold!
Your sense of humor is loved by all. A true spirit of the world you are!

I believe in you and what you are doing. Your art is wonderful.

Sweety don't loose your self. There are people who truly love you. If you need us, call us!

Baby..this is so damm hard...im so sorry...be strong.
