Spaw, thanks so much for re-posting Jean's letter.
Such an eloquent way of expressing such profound observations.
I will keep it and pass it on to others going through travails.

Jean, your words reassure me: "What else is Life, but a trip towards something higher and better?" When it is your time to go on to that higher and better stage, what a wonderful addition to that glorious "angel choir."   
But from my own selfish standpoint, I hope that the Lord wants you to stick around on this side, restored to health, a good deal longer. This world can use your wonderful voice here.
