Never know how to reply to these posts....

never will, I don't think. I suppose simply offering condolences is about all we can do, even though I think we all wish there was something more, something more substantial that we could do.

I see many of us have been thru this, my Mom passed in 1998. I'm a bit like Waterfield... although for me I don't think the 'grief' entirely passes.... but it does ebb while the memories remain.

My best wishes to your entire family. - JamesJM
