Bill, thank you for your kind words. I have been hugging her and telling her it will be ok. She is still in shock over the accidental death of her brother. They were very very close in age and spirit. He was 15 months younger than she is. They spoke on the phone everyday in fact she talked to him that night at 7:00pm and he was hit by a truck walking home from dinner at 9:00pm that evening. killed instantly. I think it will be easier for the whole family once the holidays are over.
Anyway good news to announce. New Granddaughter Britta made her way in the world Dec. 6th. Pictures to follow very soon.
