Howard, Sorry to hear of your loss. My sincere condolences. My Mother died of cancer and it is a very difficult and painful thing to go through. If any good can come of such a situation it reminds us all to love our life and do the best we can with the time we have here.

That is very upsetting and sad news, Howard. My deepest sympathies.

Having gone through hell with poor Ronan's illness, I can fully relate with what must be going on in your life.

Heath most certainly is wealth.......and that's something we should all pray and strive toward.

My best wishes to you and your loved ones, Howard.

JJ

Thank you all again for your warm support.

Phillip, I am so sorry to hear about your mother. I can only imagine the pain of your loss.

JJ, I truly hope Ronan gets well and stays well. It's obviously been such a difficult road for him and your entire family.

You're all very kind. Thank you.

Howard, I'm sorry to hear of your good friend's passing. She sounded like a wonderful friend and loosing her to death can be very hard and sobering. It's events like these that reminds us that life is short and we should never take life for granted. I just lost a friend on Saturday during surgery in a hospital to clear a blockage in his intestines!!!

What's the deal with death lately?

I found out today that one of my clients had a heart attack yesterday and died. One of my best friends told me his uncle passed away yesterday as well.

I went through most of my life not knowing anyone who died, but that seems to be changing within the past few years.

Howard: my deep condolences. nasty business. the only good part is the knowledge that life just doesn't get any harder than this, and you and your friend have seen the worst of it.
People are just not replacable, and death is the ultimate reminder of that truth.

I'm so sorry, Vu. It seems like we reach a certain age, and suddenly it comes in waves. Life starts looking a lot different when it does. I hope you're OK.

Wow, every once in awhile you read something and it's like a sock in the gut. I am so terribly sad to hear this.

These circumstances are so difficult to understand. Terrible diseases like cancer are so tough to understand.

My best to all involved at this difficult time.
