Ann,

That was so nice to get your message. I had a hard time getting onto this site.
It took hours. But I did it!! I am sorry for your loss of your wonderful father, brother ,wife, grandpa,uncle, great grandpa. I am deeply upset by hearing about Uncle Peter passing away. I do have a grand- daughter due in the next 10 weeks and it makes me think that life goes on through generations. Its a cycle of life. I am thinking of you and all the family at this difficult time . Please make sure my dad is ok. Aunt Jane.... i am praying for you all the time. You have so much love around you and so much support from an amazing family. I wish I was not so far away from.I wish I could be there through this difficult time in your lives.
