To all our wonderfull friends here we thank you for your condolences and prayers. I have been busy trying to keep Jen occupied and so have been a little slack posting here. She is coping ok. The saddest thing Jen is dealing with is a rift in her family. It is over very trivial "past" things and some of you, no doubt, have had similar experiences. Jen's sister was somewhat estranged from her. In fact my side of the family is similar....most of the rift caused by both our stepfathers. Put it all together with my health situation and the strain begins to show.
Both our sadness is caused by knowing that these "rifts" never needed to be...it is just so stupid.-----that is the really sad part!!!
Jen will be fine guys....she has the earlier "good" memories to remember.
Luv to you all, Ross and Jen

.....now I must spend some time looking over the postings I have missed.
