Mel, with regard to your friend. My wife showed me a quote the other day, which fits. "Don't be sad that it is over, be happy that it happened." Best to you and your friend. clewis...
JackH, and others, Thanks for the replies. I apologize for not replying before now. For some reason, I did not get a notification that replies had been posted, so I didn't look back here until now. I...
