In honor of my mom

Hello everyone.  First I would like to say that I have been learning from this site for 4 years and I am very thankful for everyone that has contributed to it.  I myself did only on occassion, but many of the discussions were very helpful to  me and were often the start of further research.  My mom lost her fight on Oct 28th.  Her name was Janet Claire Egner and she was my best friend.  I would like to have donations made in her honor in the fight against ovarian cancer.  I am wondering if anyone could give me recommendations for where the donations could go.  I would like them to go specifically to ovarian cancer and not cancer in general.  Thanks for your suggestions and my thoughts are with anyone connected to this disease.  Teddyboy69

A cluster of angels, recent and past, gather at our shoulders to urge us on.  What a beautiful sight to imagine.  Their heavenly garments so White and pure, their wings earned so corageously,  the whispers we hear, fight on, fight on. They never really die, as long as we all remember.  I shall never forget.  In Love to them all, Marty

I am so sorry for your lost. You and her whole family will be in my prayers. I am involved with the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.  There mission is to educate woman to the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.  We also speak with Medical student and GPs  Donations to that organization will help more woman learn we need to be our own advocates.

My prayers are with you. i too lost my mom Lorraine last Monday - November 3.  We need to think that they are both in a better place, pain free and watching over us.  My mother was an angel with courage I can only hope I have in ever put in her situation. I'm sure you feel the same way about yours.  

Take care of yourself now... that's what I'm sure our mothers would of wanted.

Thoughts are with you during this difficult time, I am sure peoeple will show you where to send donations to fight this terrible disease. My wife past away in January and we still make donations to the Cancer research here in Jordan, we save all the loose change each night and put it in a large conatiner, once full take to the local bank who counts and transfers it free. Good for you.

teddyboy,
  I am so sorry for your loss and I am sure that your mom would be so very proud to know what you are trying to do.
  In addition to the sites above, there are others listed in the health pages here on the page entitled "other ov ca sites" One in particular comes to mind,   ocrf.org (the ovarian cancer research fund)  also ovarian.org
  Thank you and may your mom rest in peace.
It would be nice if you wanted to add your mother to the remembrence page described in the very first post at the top of this page.

I am so sorry this disease has taken your mom from you.  It sounds like you helped her fight the good fight for at least four years.  She must have been a strong and brave woman to fight that long.  It is so important for any of us dealing with this monster to have a confidant and support team.....sounds like you were both.
I am so sorry for your loss.  
Peace.
