Thank you all for your kind thoughts. p.j., Joy would have been very touched by the fact that you were too distraught to attend, so please don't feel guilty. You know you and Dave can give me a call whenever you want to commiserate.

Thank you, p.j. for introducing me to the mudcat cafe. This is a special community. Again, thank you Kat, moonchild, Big Mick, 'Spaw, Amergin, I am touched by your kind remarks and poetry, as Joy would have been.
