Debbie, I am os sorry to read about your mom's passing. Please feel free to call me, or visit at anytime. I know that there must be swings of feeling at this time, so can I suggest that you try to keep grateful, and close to your prayer books. This works for me, I have two housemates now. One is African- American and is a cook. He most recent landlord, for 2 years, had him put in jail when he had not enough money, after paying rent, to put a downpayment on another place to live. He was asked to leave, and he refused, so they called the cops. I had to help him, since I knew him. I ended up going to the jail by taxi after dark to bail him out. I asked the front desk for the prison chaplain. He turned out to be the visiting chaplain to the prison, someone I actually have met and sung with on Martin Luther King Day. The other housemate's mother is dying at Maine Medicalk Center, and is Native American. He is an IRish-French-Native American. Also a cook and an old friend. They are fantastic guys, so God is seeing me through what would be crisis for someone else. TWO housemates when I was only praying for one! I feel you will be blessed so just keep in touch as best as you can. Love to a special friend, Ivan XX00 On Sat, 11 Nov 2000 14:42:00 -0500 Debbie White <[log in to unmask]> writes: > I will be leaving the list.
