I’m so, so sorry to have to report this news.
I haven’t updated because the details have been very confusing.
I could not get her on the phone because she was, unbeknownst to me, transferred to a different hospital, a hospice. We all know what a hospice means.
I did get her on the phone 2 times after her transfer and I tiptoed around what I felt was the elephant in the room. But she said she was there for wound care, and the prognosis was favorable.
I looked up on the internet and this particular hospice did have a wound care unit.
I called Irony Curtain and we both concluded that it was possible that she was there for what she claimed, but it was best to wait before updating everyone.
I just received an email from her good friend.
The news is bleak. Greetings was simply keeping up a brave front, like the strong woman she is. She is in hospice for a reason, and it’s not for wound care.
Say a prayer for our good friend.
I’ve missed her… I will be praying.
This is just so unfair, but I don’t want her to suffer, either.
Jesus, be with her.
I am so sorry to see this. May the good Lord wrap His loving arms around our dear friend, Greetings From Yonkers, comfort her, and provide her with everything she needs. In the name of Almighty Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen
I’m not very good at it, but I’ll pray my butt off for her. Is there anything else we can do?
Prayers.
Amen to all the above comments. Blessings to you, dear Greetings from Yonkers.
“Fides, Familia, Amici”.
Faith first and foremost, Family second only to Faith, Friends above all else that remains.
May all her days be filled with Love, Faith, Family and Friends.
Greetings, her family and friends are in our prayers.
God Bless them all.
So very sorry to hear. I have always liked her posts. And knowing she was a real face-to-face friend of yours makes me hurt for both of you. I pray the Lord holds her closely during this awful time.
Oh, so very sorry to hear about this. Dear Lord, please be with Greetings from Yonkers and give her strength to endure. Help her to know that many out there care for her and cheer her in this time. Amen.
GFY you are in my prayers
Prayers.
God bless to her, and that she have the
best outcome that she needs.
God bless and watch over her.
I hope she’s not reading this thread. If she is I want to tell her to fight. And I know she’s a warrior. Nobody remembers pain.
This is disheartening to hear. I thought she was on the mend. I will be praying for her. I am so sorry to hear this. “our” IOTW community has had too many losses…
Ohh, so sad. I enjoyed reading her posts. I pray for strenghth for her. I pray that God in His mercy grant her a miracle in Jesus name. Amen
May God walk with her on whichever path he’s chosen for her.
GFY, you have always been the delight of the comment section. I pray for strength in your brave struggle. You have my respect and fond wishes. May the Lord Bless You.
Lord Jesus Christ. Just as with the woman with the issue with the blood who reached out in faith to touch the hem of Your garment knowing You could heal her may the hem of Your garment touch Greetings From Yonkers’ body and may the healing power flow from You to her so that she may be restored.
In The Name Of The Nazarene…AMEN.
Adding my prayers, too. Greetings from Yonkers, I always get a sense of who you are from your posts. God bless you.
Not good news. She had some real insight in her comments. I’ll pray for her.
Prayers for Greetings for Yonkers. May you come back to posting again.
I’ll Trust in you

I am so very sorry to hear about this. I expected “Yonk” to come back strong after the election. Prayer is a good medicine.
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:2 KJV
We will all have the opportunity to visit again.
If she says she is there for wound care, that’s good enough for me. Life wounds us every day, in so many ways, and sooner or later those countless injuries add up to that which we all must come to in the end.
No tears now. Only peace.
Father God in Heaven, in the name of Jesus, I pray for our special friend from Yonkers, You know her name, you created her to be the feisty, strong, intelligent and witty woman that she is. Have mercy upon her, strengthen her, cause Your mighty power to flow through her and heal her, comfort her and restore her to her family and her friends, please, Father, we give you all glory and honor and praise!
So sorry to hear the sad news. Praying God in His mercy surrounds her with love and peace.
I am so sorry. Miss you GFY!
Hope to find you have a lot more stuff to do here than you thought. Can’t leave if there’s still stuff to do. Stick around.
I gathered, through her many posts over the years, that life has been tough on her in the past. But I also gleaned that she is a person of faith. May that faith, and the knowledge that so many of her friends here are praying for her, give her comfort at this most difficult time.. God Bless you, GFY; you are loved.
God knew us before we were conceived. Jesus loved each of us by name as He suffered on the cross. He knew these moments would come for GFY. And He knew he would be there for her to supply her every need and quiet her soul with comfort. We are never alone.
GFY, hurry back to us. We miss you.
I’m so sorry to hear that. My prayers are also with her. I too miss her posts. She is is the antithesis of what we now know as a snowflake. Stay tough Yonkers!
Dear GFY
I hope you’re reading this thread.
Jesus speaking in Luke 11:9-10
“And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened”.
Place your burdens and sin upon the One who took your punishment upon himself. If the thief on the cross could be forgiven so can you. You may recall that the thief asked to be remembered, and Christ’s answer was, “Today you will be with me in Paradise”.
Believe it and live.
I’m so sorry to hear this news about one of our own. May an abundance of prayer and comfort go out to you GFR.
Prayers, peace, love, and friendship to GFY and to all of you good people of this IOTW community.
3 John 1:2 – Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
Prayers for strength and healing. Didn’t Yonkers mention being a breast cancer survivor? It sounded like she had adversity in her life and handled it with strength, dignity and grace.
Her presence her is missed. Sending up strong prayers.
Thank you BFH for letting us know.
Sitting here thinking (yes, it hurt). Extra prayers for strength and renewal for BFH who always has the task of giving bad news.
We love you GFY,

I never know what to say. I’m sorry to hear of sadness and sickness striking another in the iOTW family.

She gives reports from the belly of the beast like few can. I am praying for her.
Thank you, Sir Fur, for the ‘seemingly sad’ update…’seemingly’ because though I do not know GFY personally, we have seen many like her achieve an amazing comeback from the power of prayer.
Prayers and thoughts for you, strong lady, from here in Chicago. Continue the fight!
May the Father grant you mercy, may the Son give you peace and may the Holy Spirit give you comfort….
Add me to We.
GFY I hope you can see this page.
