Guest Sherrill Posted May 16, 2007 Heidi, Everyone before me has said much of what I would also say. But I want to say that you have been a rock of stability for this Forum, and we will miss you! Unfortunately stuff happens in life, and if we fight it we only hurt ourselves. This even more so when we have scleroderma, as I'm sure everyone will agree. So "go with the flow" and do what you have to do, knowing that you can relax with the capable hands of Carrie at the wheel of the manager's position! Love and warm hugs, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheryl Posted May 16, 2007 Heidi, keep up with all of us. We will miss your labors. Hopefully, you will still be doing some research at times and keeping us informed on any new developments you come across. You have been great for all of us. I won't say fare thee well. I am sure you will be heard from often. All my love and good wishes for all things good to you and yours.

Sherion Posted May 17, 2007 Heidi, I am so sorry that you're leaving your post. I hope that the personal things going on in your life are not serious and can be "fixed" with little or no trouble. You'll be in my thoughts. I hope you're not saying good by and will visit us often. You'll be greatly missed!! Sherion Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shelley Ensz Posted May 18, 2007 Hi Heidi, Mere words can't say how absolutely fabulous you have been as Sclero Forums Manager all these years! My goodness, it is nearly impossible to imagine you not being Manager. You've been an absolute delight to work with, always keeping us on track with everything -- and making it seem effortless to provide nonstop love and support and information for our members, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! I hope you have a terrific time off, for the next few weeks. I miss you already! And I look forward to hearing from you again very soon. You've always been simply de tops, in every way. And to top it off, you've done a tremendous job in selecting and training Carrie as our new Manager, too, making it a completely seamless transition. Well, I have tears in my eyes, so it's hard to keep on typing. Hurry back!!!

Dee Posted May 21, 2007 Hi Heidi, I have been off the board for a time and just now read your note. I'm so sad that you will be leaving us as manager. In the 3 years I've been a member, I have always admired your talent, wisdom, genuine concern, encouragement, professionalism and most of all, your spirit. It always shines through! Many times I've thought how very lucky we were to have you around. May you have many sun-shiney days ahead! You're fabulous! You're the best! Your friend, Dee Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vee Posted May 21, 2007 Heidi, I haven't been on in a long time, and I was quite surprised to see your post when I did log on this morning. I'm so sorry to see you go as manager. You are one of the first ones to take me "under you wing" so to say when I first found these boards a couple of years ago, and your kind and and encouraging words meant the biggest difference in my life. I so hope that your "complications" move on and out of your life so you can concentrate on you. Remember to not let the stress get to you, You know what that can do to us! And also know that I am sending Happy, Happpy, Happpppy thoughts to you! Thank you for all your great advice and shoulder to cry on! xoxoxoxoxoxxo Quote Happy people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have! Warm and Happy to you!
