I'm so sorry for your multiple losses, mrs_starkers.

I am very saddened to hear of your loss. Having lost my only sister in 2015 and my wife on Dec 30 last, and myself now diagnosed with terminal Liver cancer, death has been on my doorstep for far too long. It' is some comfort to know Theda,  your sis and mine are free from their pain and suffering  but is still hurts  and always will. Rest in peace ladies, you have earned it.
