Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 , I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your FIL. Even though he went fast, it is good that he didn't have to suffer for long as your MIL. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Peace and comfort be with you and your family.
