| Comments: | To Victoria's Quilts Canada:
The day after my wife's second cancer surgery, a beautiful quilt arrived on our doorstep. We were both ecstatic over it. We were also pleased to see that a dear family friend was one of the ladies that worked on her quilt. My wife has had so much pleasure and comfort from it. It feels like she's getting a hug from that friend and the other ladies every time she puts it around her. Words cannot express our gratitude. Thank you so much. We WILL beat this! |

| Comments: | My name is Karen Nichols and I recently received one of your beautiful Victoria's Quilts.
First of all let me say what an incredible way to honour and remember Victoria Ann Morrison. I was very moved and humbled when I received this gift.... it was sent from another person living with cancer... someone I've become friends with thru Wellspring -- our beloved Cancer Support Center here in Brampton, Ontario. This labour of love touched my heart very deeply. What really added even more 'depth' to this gift, was knowing that the people who made it are focused on their Faith.... knowing that God watches over all of us and is with us thru every experience in life... sometimes walking beside us .... sometimes carrying us when necessary. I am so truly blessed to have been given this gift. May God bless you, Betty, as well as all of the loving hands that make these quilts possible. Blessings Karen Nichols |

| Comments: | This letter is very overdue but I want to thank "Victoria's Quilts" for the lovely quilt they sent my Mom in June of 2008. She passed away, wrapped in her quilt on August 24, 2008. Her friend Carol Lynch had requested the quilt be sent to her. Carol is a story in herself, she found my Mom while searching her distant relatives on the internet, they got in touch with each other and formed a beautiful friendship. They never had the chance to meet. Carol requested a quilt for my Mom as she faced her final days battling colon cancer. I can tell you that when that quilt arrived my Mom covered herself with it and then told everyone the story of Carol and her "Victoria's Quilt". This quilt brought such comfort to my Mom and it continues to comfort me today as I wrap the quilt around me and imagine that my Mom's arms are holding me.
Thank you !! |

| Comments: | To the wonderful people at Victoria's Quilts Canada.
I would like to thank all the people that spent the time to create the quilt that I recieved last week. Strange thing happened the day I recieved the quilt, I was sitting on my chair, cold and was thinking of fetching a blanket when the door bell rang and recieved the quilt. It made my day, for I was feeling down a bit and that cheered my right up. God felt thanks go to all the people who work hard and with love in their hearts to create such treasures for people they don't even know. You don't realise how much this means to me and I'm sure all the other people battling cancer as well. Thank you Carol |

| Comments: | My cancer recurred in late 2005 while I was living in Fort St. John, BC. Two quilter friends who had moved away arranged for me to get a Victoria's quilt. I moved to Summerland in 2007, and a fellow guild member mentioned that a friend of hers had received a Victoria's quilt so I brought mine to the next guild meeting. This energetic lady has encouraged a lot of us guild members to make quilts and tops to send to Victoria's Quilts. I'm still fighting cancer and still snuggling under my Victoria's quilt. Thank you for all you do! |

| Comments: | About four years ago my wife Mary was diagnosed with lung cancer and was treated with radical radiation which almost destroyed the tumour and put it into remission. My wife is also a long time sufferer from Lupus. About eighteen months ago the disease showed signs that it had reactivated and Mary started chemo treatment at home with Tarceba which has very successfully retarded the spread of the disease. As a result of the two illnesses Mary has very little energy and feels cold even when the temperature around her is relatively warm. Our neighbour Phyllis is a volunteer at our local hospital, discovered your wonderful organization and requested a quilt for Mary which arrived yesterday. It is beautiful, Cuddly, and WARM and it is very much appreciated by her and by our family. Perhaps even more important is the spiritual comfort of knowing that you are not alone and that you have been touched by love from so many and from so far away. Thankyou to everyone involved in this wonderful work. |

| Comments: | I was diagnosed with breast cancer a month ago and had surgery last week. My faith in a power greater than myself has helped me through all the procedures and the surgery and I know that my life continues to unfold as it is meant to. Nothing has shaken my serenity - until today. One of your angels brought me a quilt. Me! I was overwhelmed. My great and dear friend and mentor, Shirley, ordered this beautiful quilt in fall colours - to match my hair, she later said. I had not heard of Victoria's Quilts, but am profoundly grateful to you for warming not just my body but my soul with the gift of yourselves, whoever you may be. I will cherish your selfless gift forever.
With much love and gratitude, from Heather |

Not long ago I had a wonderful thing happen to me. A box came to my door and in the box was a beautiful quilt with my colors and a wee cat in some of the squares. Your gift of love came at a time when I needed a lift. I have been battling cancer for over 4 years. The wonderful quilt you sent me made me so grateful for your ministry. Thank you all so much!
