Thank you, Tara. Jackie's been my surrogate mom for the past 21 years. My
consolation is that she will now be reunited with her husband, my mom and
dad, and her parents. It won't make me miss her any less, but it allows me
to be happy for her. I just hope she passes without too much pain. Her
four children are with her. If they're all there from all over the
country, I suspect that we'll be receiving bad news fairly soon. She's 75.

Thanks again,
Carol
