Thank everyone so much.Never expected the events of yesterday.Thank God something told me not to go to work,she was in my arms when she passed.Everyone take the time to hug the one you with,you never know,fine in the morning and gone in the afternoon.I'm going to remember the good times and thank The Lord for my friends and family......which to me is what this forum is all about,we care.Remember as Zac says it's a game we can't win,might as well enjoy the ride.It is a privilege and honor to be a member and have friends like y'all.I appreciate you and the prayers and comments,Thank you,Bill
