On April 1st, Rianne was diagnosed with a Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The cancer has changed our lives! But once again, our great community has proven to us how special it really is to live here. All of your love, generosity and support have been absolutely humbling, heartfelt and very much appreciated.
Rianne and I would like to invite our community to visit our new weblog, which we hope will help keep you all updated on Rianne’s progress throughout her treatment. The address is weloverianne.blogspot.com .
Lastly, please feel free to call us, text us, visit our Facebook sites, visit the Blog or chat when you see us. Your friendship, love and support give us great strength during this very difficult time in our lives.
Once again, thank you all for everything you have done for us. You make us very proud to be living here in Gold Beach!
The Spagetti Feed was a huge success. Thanks again everyone for your hard work, love, support and contributions. We appreciate it all very much.
