Kathy,
I am still in shock. Losing a beloved friend/husband as well as your Dad in such a short period of time has to be stress beyond belief. I know you have strength and endurance on your side as you have been tested many times. Reach in for that strength to get you through this and know that Rusty and you were and are loved and cherished. My heart goes out to you, your son, and Aunt Pat as well as to all the McCaffrey clan.
