I was thinking the same thing myself...
I am going to put a small comment of comfort, my town and country... but I wasn't sure about my real name (obviously they won't know about this board - so I can't use my "label" here).
It don't feel comfortable writing my name. For some reason it doesn't feel right. But then if I was a recipient of a quilt - I think I would want to know cared???
I'd love to know what other people think too.

I decided just to put my town and country. I didn't want to put down so many words that it detracted from the heart :)

You guys are amazing. I watched the news tonight and saw the flames coming out of the mine. Not a good sight, and my heart goes out to the families as it looks doubtful if the bodies will be recovered.
Back to the sewing machine!

A bakers dozen will go out in the mail tomorrow. Hummmm, hope it doesn't take too long to get there!
I didn't sign my name; just put this: HUGS from Oregon City, Oregon USA.
What a very sad tragedy. Hopefully, the quilts will bring some smiles to those dealing with the loss of a family member.
