A message from Filthy Mikes mum

[Daniel San]

Al the best Bernadette ! Wish you a good recovery ️‍🩹

[goosehd]

It makes me so very happy to see how we touched somebody when she and her son touched us. There is karma in this world and this is proof of it. Love to you Bernadette and please know how much Mike meant to all of us.

Bernadette keep going

I just dropped Alissa a note because I had not heard from Bernadette for a while, and I have funds to send here.

This was the message I received.

*Hi Giles.

She had open heart surgery last month to replace a valve. The operation was successful; but the recovery has been slow. My daughter went out to Pittsburgh for three weeks to try to help; but it has been really difficult not having Michael there to take care of her.
I will let her know that you are asking about her.
Thank you for staying in touch. It means a lot

Hello Giles and All,

I want to let you know that I have to have another surgery on my heart. This will be the third on my heart and sixth overall this year. Every time I think things are going to get better, I am given another challenge to face. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you again for all your kind words and support.

Bernadette

Prayers are with you.

Thinking about Bernadette. That’s a lot to go through. Thanks for sharing Giles

[Fades for future]

Oh man, really hard times for her. Hope all went well

[denim-dawg]

@Giles Thank you for keeping in touch with her, and us in the flow. Wishing all the best to her and her heart

Fuck man...I can't imagine the turmoil multiple surgeries would cause me. Bernadette is a trooper.

Life sure ain’t fair. Thank god for friends, family, and community. Stay strong Bernadette. Hoping the awareness of so many sending you positive energy, helps in some small way.

Thanks for sharing, Giles — sending good energy her way ️

I sent Bernadette some funds earlier in the week. I had this reply.

Hi Giles, it is good to hear from you. As usual, thanks so much for your donation. I am trying to get enough money together to help
Alissa and her children come home for Christmas, so this will help. I am in the middle of having several tests done on my heart and pacemaker to determine why my heart is not beating properly. I think I will have to have one more surgery to fix things but I won’t know until the middle of December.

I hope you and your family as well as the Iron Heart Forum members have a wonderful holiday season and a good new year. Bernadette

I have sold some personal stuff recently, so have some spare funds in PayPal, I offered to sub Bernadette $1,000 to make Christmas with her daughter and grandkids happen. I said I'd get the cash back when I sold some more of Mike's stuff. So I'll be putting the final tranche of his gear up for auction over the next few days....

@Giles Well done Giles, thank you for being so kind and generous towards Mike's family. This forum truly is a special place.

Thank you Giles, this warms my heart. This is a special place. Love to Bernadette and her family and hope she gets her heart issue fixed soon.
