I sit here at my computer thinking about all of the many blessings we have had here at our little corner of the garden and throughout my mind's meanderings, one name continuously comes to mind, Dean E. Gerry.

Deano2u2 has been such a large part of this site for several years. He has always been the first one to offer a warm welcome to all of our new members, and lends a hand by searching for information when people have a gardening question. He has spent hours contributing to both the plant guides and glossary, as well as taking the time to write articles on his experiences growing tomatoes (see WINTER SOWING TOMATO SEEDS; Growing Tomato Plants from seed using Jiffy-7 Peat pellet)

Recently, we received news that Deano was very ill with advanced Leukemia. It broke my heart to get this news. Deano is a friend to many, and quite a few members here consider him their adopted grandpa. Please join us in sending prayers, well wishes or good karma his way to help him battle this dreadful disease. There's a thread in the forums dedicated just to him so he can stop in and read that we are thinking of him.

Deano, you kept me in your thoughts when I was going through the toughest time in my life, please know that I am doing the same. You are very dear to me and I count you as one of the blessings in my life.  ((((HUGS)))) to last forever dearest Deano2u2. ♥
