Dear List-family... Just a quick note to let them what's interested know that I'm back online after a 10 day hiatus caused by my mom's passing away late last month. I spent the last few hours plowing thru a HUGE mound of unread email that awaited me this morning. (GAWD! There were several hundred messages!). I want to thank those of you who sent me personal messages of comfort and condolence - I cannot tell you how much each and every one of those messages meant to me. Ya REALLY touched my heart.... I started off intending to reply to each and every personal message but soon realized I'd have to chain myself to the 'puter and spend the next coupla weeks typing atcha! Sooooo... I hope those of you who DID take the time and make the effort to email me will accept this message with my heart-felt thanks and that you'll understand why I haven't sent a personal reply to each individual who sent me a message. It's sure good to be back here on the List amongst dear and valued friends. You were definitely MISSED... Barb M's "officially" back in Cyberspace now, fingers poised above the keyboard and ready to type atcha.... Barb Mallut [log in to unmask]
