Dear List-Family... I'm in what can only be called "the eye of the storm," right now.... the quiet period after all the initial phoning has been made and the time when relatives and friends descend upon me. I logged on 'cause I was I needed a break and was kinda at loose ends, and found a treasure trove of dear and thoughtful condolence messages from a great many of you. <mopping up 'round eyes> I'd like to share on thing 'bout my mom with ya before I log off fore today.. Mom... Fern Kaplan, was always called "Grandma Fernie" by my two daughters, and "Pickle Puss, (aka "Pickle," and even "Pick!") <DON'T ASK!!> (smiling/snuffling) by my sister's two sons. It takes a non-stop sense of humor to put up with a nickname like THAT! <grin> And we've hadda lot of laughs about "Pickle Puss" over the years - ESPECIALLY since my sis's two "boys" and men in their twenties now.. G'bye Pickle.... I love you. Barb M.
