Well, Marie, the "scream ride" seems so inadequate right now. God must have something really stupendous waiting for you after your forced vacation and rest!!!
You know, girl, you take care of so many....your sweet Ed and mom-in-law AND so many of us. Sure wish I could take away the pain of your loss, but so wish for you a rest and a little time when the burden doesn't fall on your mighty shoulders.
Much love to you as you walk life through 1 hour at a time. You're still awesome! ma
