Your heart felt plea strikes a chord in me, Justin.

God's grace and mercy to your family.

How old is G'pa Marty? (My dad passed at 70, this year.)

I can feel the pain and the love, Justin. I can understand exactly how you must feel in this time of stress and I can fully sympathise with your present predicament.

I sincerely hope and pray that your dear grandfather, whom you love so dearly, pulls out of this one and is back home with his family where he belongs.

You have my utmost thoughts, prayers and sincere wishes, Justin. You're a good man and I can NEVER forget what you did for my beloved Ronan when he needed help the most.

As always - JJ
