MaryAnn..... I so hope you can FEEL the love and concern ( and high admiration ) from all who 'know you' on these boards. May that be with you in the quiet dark hours to help comfort you.
Should you inherit an allergy, may it be to HOUSEWORK and not chocolate or warm furry things

Sending my own hope, love and good wishes,
with gentle warmest of hugs,
