((((((((((elaine)))))))) I am sorry for your loss.
I wish I didn't understand, but between hubby and I we have lost five loved ones in the past two years, the last one a friend of over 30 years just a few months ago.. It is so hard and you are right.. I am so glad that each of them knew how I felt and I try with those around me. But geez you never know and I sure can't stay in touch daily with everyone I know..
So my condelences to you and the family and take care of yourself Elaine... Linda
