In Memoriam It is with deep sorrow I report the passing of a good friend and fellow celiac.
Many of you will recall meeting Jim at our first group dinner at The Cove restaurant. Jim really liked eating at the Cove. He would go there frequently for lunch, and didn’t have to order off the menu. Chef Steve would ask him what he felt like having and then make it gluten free for him. He was a joy to be around, and brought out the best in us. He made you feel as if you came first. Our deepest sympathy to his wonderful wife, Betty. The celiac world has lost a true friend.
The best tribute to Phyllis's leadership is to expand her passion to an ever growing constituency. We each need to empower ourselves to live well by making eating gluten tree better understood & more readily accessible. We need other celiacs to devote their talents to the cause. We owe it to Phyllis to continue the support group's mission of raising awareness, educating the newly diagnosed and sharing information. As celiac disease's profile is being raised, more & more people are questioning WHY they've been feeling so ill. The Atkins and South Beach diets have confounded the distinction between those "choosing" to eat a certain way & those who MUST - but nonetheless, these two approaches to eating HAVE provoked a lot of discussion about how much better one feels without wheat!! More diagnoses give strength to our efforts, but they also mean more newly diagnosed individuals who are feeling as lost & alone as we have felt.
