Sally, glad to hear from you. You are not alone, you know, there are many
who think of you and pray for you. You were a tower of strength to Charlie
and he is at peace now. Write as Liz suggests and keep in touch. There many
here who have lost loved ones and will listen to the storm in your heart
until you reach a calm harbour. God helps bring peace, we have but to ask.
God Bless, Jeanne
