family.

Dear ,

I can't remember where I left off when I got so busy with Mr. B but I

found this email and want to send you my condolences for the passing

of your FIL. I knew you had mentioned that he was not doing very

well and now he is at Peace.

As I watch Mr. B struggle, on and off, to " stay here " I think of your

Mom and wonder what she is thinking? This is such a strange disease

and there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it. I wish her the best

comfort and hope that you are doing well too.

Much love, prayers and Peace, Stevie
