Bev, I've not seen you in several years. And, I've not met or know Richard. I am sorry to hear of this. I recall when you had your medical troubles that were diagnosed when you tried to move a concrete bench in your yard and found news that was not pleasant. I'm sorry Joe lost his brother and I'm sorry if it was due to the illness that you suspected many years ago. I live in Lawrence, still, and don't get out much. Please tell your husband that I know how hard this is, and I hope he can...
