Hi John D.!
Dar's not doing very well and fading. The Parkinson's taking it's toll on her. I'm a husband and caregiver now.
Thanks  for asking though.
Cliff.

Sorry, I have to cancel our Meet and Greet. Darlene is in the ICU and I need to concentrate on getting her home which may take awhile. Thanks for your understanding.  Cliff.

Wow...so sorry to hear that Cliff, plz accept our sincere condolences.

They say losing a spouse is widely considered one of the deepest, life-altering losses, often described as losing half of one's self.  I cannot imagine...
