Using e-mail to organize help

Thank you so much to everyone who has offered to help. We really appreciate the support.

On a practical note, organization and communication is very difficult for us. We have different people answering the phone, long distance phone calls, critical calls from Hospice, and distracted minds to contend with.

In order to make our care for Corrine as easy as possible, instead of calling to volunteer to help with any current or future requests, please e-mail Corrinesfamily@gmail.com

New Help Requests

1. A friend of Corrine's from Arvada Covanent Church is helping to organize food for the family. Please e-mail how you would like to help. For example, can you provide an entire meal for _# of people—or would you rather provide a portion of the meal, or, are you flexible? If you do not hear back immediately, don't worry, it's just because Don and Corrine are so popular : )

2. We are also trying to look ahead and find people who would be willing and able to host family or friends from out of town. If you have the space and the inclination, e-mail with the number of people you can comfortably host as well as the general area you live.

3. Transportation may also be needed, so if you have a vehicle and you are a safe driver... no crazy drivers please : ) e-mail us the type of vehicle as well as number of people you can safely transport.

Thank you for your understanding about using this new e-mail address as our primary mode of communication for the help we need.

Continue to use the 'comments' part of the blog to post encouragements. We read them to Corrine as we recieve them.

Thank you for your love, prayer, and support.

  1. Hi Corrine and Don, I just had a nice visit with Maxine and then Nancy F. Now I have the blog, so I am keeping up with you through the lovely and loving reports Angela is providing. Our families have been here for holidays, so now I am getting back to normal and will be bringing a dinner to you later in the week. I am picturing your lake and mountain view, Corrine, which I remember from our Women's Min. meetings around your big round table. God bless you both as we pray and care. Jean Stuck.
