Dear Margot: I just heard of the passing of Jim, I am so sorry for your loss. I am sorry I've been out of touch - just not a great year for me but nothing to what you have been through. I hope you can remember your time with Jim during the good times and not just the last months of his life. You have been a wonderful, caring , compassionate wife and I am sure he loved you dearly. I will pray for you during this difficult time Sincerely, Maria
