Folks ... This is one of the rare times that I am at a loss for words. There is no good way to step into the recent discussions in an administrative capacity, despite the obvious fact that it needs to be done. I am sending warnings to no one and I am not passing any sort of judgment on anything that's transpired on the list today. Instead, I send my good thoughts and my prayers to everyone who needs them. Disease of any kind in our loved ones is a frightening and horrible thing. Unfortunately, most of us must bear that burden at some time in our lives, and naturally all of us become passionate when memories are brought back. Last year, Peg lost her dad to Pancreatic cancer, and so such heartbreaks are still very clear in my thoughts. Some of you are angry at what you've read on the list today and some of you are compelled to offer your own thoughts on the subject. I understand ... Anyone would understand. The things that have been said cannot be erased, nor can any good come from further responses to any of the recent posts. With that in mind, I ask ... out of respect for everyone's feelings...that no further responses to posts about Gail's condition be put on the list. I don't know how Gail or her loved ones feel about today's posts, but I apologize for the list to anyone who believes they deserve that.
