Could we maybe collect enough for Deena to be more useful than flowers? I don't know--a gift card, maybe? Has anyone kept in touch with her enough to know what she might want or need? I know the flowers idea is thoughtful, but I'd like to give her something useful, as well if we could.
None of it means a damn thing.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I second Beverly's idea. From the sound of things, something that can be used to help make part of her day easier might be more meaningful.

I'm in on the Deena gift. I also like the idea of collecting enough for a gift card or even just cash.

I'm in on the Deena gift, and second Bev's idea.

I'm in on the Deena gift too. Could we maybe try getting in touch with Greg? I don't know if anyone has his email address, but a little googling reveals that he runs a blog on his library's website ( [link] ) and there's a contact form we could use to send him a message.

Yes, I would agree and like to be a part of helping Deena.

I'm friends with Greg on facebook, so I can send him a message, if people let me know what to say/ask.

I'd say we would like to send something to Deena to bring her some love and cheer. What is their address? Is there anything in particular she might need?

Compassionately intolerant
Please count me in on the Deena gift as well.
She was a tremendous help to me a few years ago. I am so sorry to hear of her difficulty.
