Yvonne. I can only imagine the pain you feel. You have known more sorrow than any one woman should go through in a lifetime. I hope that 21 years of memories will comfort you and that soon these memories will bring smiles instead of tears. You are a brave and strong person. Our thoughts are with you. Robin (your friend here at SNGH!)
