My condolences and sympathies, Christine. My mother would have been 70 on December 7, but I lost her a bit over two years ago, and wasn't told for several days. Demi and I were with her mother when she died sixteen years ago. Either way, your hospice nurse is right: you're never REALLY ready. :-/ -- Mike Hungerford http://www.chthulhu.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Papermodels II" group.
