I just wanted to thank the many people who have responded to me personally regarding the letter I sent about my dad and mom's current difficulties. It's encouraging and reaffirming to see such a helpful, friendly, supportive group of folks, who share the camaraderie of a hard situation. (Occasional online spats notwithstanding :-) I don't have time to respond to you all individually, nor time to fully participate in the list as much as I'd like (I've got my job to consider!). But I want you all to know I've received the letters, have faxed copies of them to my mom (not computer literate to have her own email yet), and truly truly appreciate the suggestions and expressions of support. -- garyZ Gary Zimmerman [log in to unmask]
