Thank you All! (from Jill & John)
John really appreciated all the kind words and wishes from perfect strangers
(heh!) about Gretchen's passing. I told him cat people are great! and he had his "fluffy" cat, Kidder, on his lap as we talked I also did my best to print out a copy of the Candles page that Adrian started because he really doesn't quite understand what this group does in terms of offering purrs (non-denominational sort of thing, which he and I both appreciate) and the candles (which could fit anything you'd like it to). He still plans to visit in 12 days so I'll share that print-out with him. Thank you all very much. He's feeling much better now and has a sense of relief that Gretchen isn't simply wasting away lying in a bed. He saw her the day before she died and she was holding a teddy bear he'd given to her. He made arrangements yesterday per her request to have her cremated. Thank you all so much for the love and support. Jill |

Jill, I didn't get a chance to express condolences about John's mom before, so here they are belatedly. As for printing out, I made individual screen captures of Natasha's (RB) candles and have saved them in a file. That way I had all the message that went with them too. If you've not tried this, and it's not too late, pleasee consider giving it a shot! Jeanne Hedge ============ http://www.jhedge.com |

I came up with an idea last night and kilikini is going to help me with it. The last time John was here he brought a bunch of stuff from his mom's (his childhood) house in Rochester, NY including a bunch of old photos. His father was a talented photographer and actually an artist himself. He took a lot of photos of Gretchen as well as of John as a child There are a couple of photos of his father taken by other people. She's going to help me put together a photo montage to give to him when he visits on 2/15. Thought it would be a nice idea. Jill |
