...overwhelmingly, I might add.
I am so privileged to know this person, and to consider her a good friend. I've never seen anyone deal with so much adversity and pitfalls with such grace and humor. And - as most of us know, she always puts aside any issues she might have to help everyone else. Whether it is small packages, great advice, or just a hug.
So...TRUMPET FANFARE PLEASE...
I'm so proud to announce that RAVENLOST is the most recent receipient of the BBS PAY IT FORWARD RAOK!
Congratulations girl!
I want to say that I had over 45 names nominated, with over 70 responses. Thank you all for helping out with this. I also want to say WITHOUT RESERVATION, that every person nominated deserves this 'gift' and I'd give anything to be able to send a package to each person! Yes Ravenlost has won this in the past, but from the overwhelming response, I just don't feel that it matters. She received 10x more votes than anyone, a total of 19.
Here are a few of the 'reasons' (from the emails I received) why Ravenlost receives this RAOK. I think this sampling of responses pretty much says it all, and what most of us already know:

Hi,I would like to put my vote in for Raven.She has been through more than most people have in a lifetime.Thanks for doing this.
I want to vote for Raven...She is an amazing woman that is always there for everyone when they need her...If we had more people like her in the world, it would be a much nicer place to live....
I know that I dont post much, but I couldnt think of a better person to give this to than Ravenlost. I always read her posts and every time I CRY .. her and her family have been through so much this year I think she'd really appreciate it.
I would like to nominate Ravenlost. I know that she has already won one of these this year but I just received a box full of goodies for my son and a few sweet things for me too for Christmas. She did not have to do this. She has a heart of gold, and I just think she deserves it.
my vote would have to go to ravenlost...i have read many of her replies to those in need and she has given unselfishly both in time and needed goods. she thinks of as many ways she can be of help and asks for nothing in return.
I think that ravenlost should be the person to get the RAOK. Since she has been through so much with every member of her fam. son, dot grandchild, dad, now her hubby! She really needs a pick me up!
I nominate Ravenlost.
Not sure if she has ever been picked before, but I think she should win because she has such a big heart. She is always giving to others who are less fortunate. She is always there for people at BBS who need a shoulder, no matter what she may be going through herself.
