  Man, I have to tack on to that list, my mom's coworker Anne suffered a massive stroke in between surgeries the other day, she's vegetative and they're waiting for the daughter to come down to "decide what to do". And for my dad's friend in General Services, he died of pneumonia after a huge and essentially lifelong immuno-deficiency battle the other day.
Again, a *sigh* should here be input...please keep the families in your prayers. On a lighter note: Kitties! Butterflies! Puffy white clouds! Waltzes in the springtime! Warm summer nights! Snuggling up with a huge glass of hot chocolate and a blanket and watching Lifetime! Woodstock (old, peaceful hippy Woodstock)! Hugs and kisses! Blah blah blah.
