    I am so sorry to hear of your great loss. Recently I lost my dear mother, and found great comfort in the Holy Bible, like at Isaiah 25 verse 8 - " The Sovereign Lord will swallow up death forever, and wipe away the tears from all faces." Also at Revelation 21 verse 4,we find God's promise to remove both pain and death. For more comfort, I turn to the website at: www.jw.org (Search: Comfort)

    Carolyn, I am so sorry to hear of Charlie's passing. You always seemed to have a good life with Charlie. I remember all our good times at Ford when we QC'd together on the bottle line. You gave me your persimmon pudding recipe and I still use it today. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
