my best wishes to Jean, George and Jon
thanks katlaughing for the link to Jean's wonderful letter about mortality, etc (clickable link at katlaughing 14 Dec posting), thanks Jon for keeping us updated on your mother's condition - I'm glad you saw katlaughing's post. I hope you see the potentially useful posts 17 Dec by WYSIWYG and Maeve
