Cindy, I am so sorry for you and your family's loss. I was thinking of you and decided to look for you online when I came across this. I hope you see it. I have lost both of my parents in the last 5 years. It is difficult. Perhaps we can get together sometime when I am in Pittsburgh. Again, my condolences.
