Out thought and prayers are with you Bob. We will be jiggling beads hoping
everything goes as well as can be expected.
This is a journey most of us do and none of us like at all. I think the only
other worse thing is when the situation is reversed. That is a trip no one

Get rest and take care of your self too. You can take care of the others if you
wear yourself out ya know.
