Marvella and Julie,

Thanks for sharing those comments.  I can't imagine how hard it must be to
loose those who are close to you through accident or illness.

When I lost one of my grandmothers, my aunt's phone number was different
from hers by two digits.  And I switched the digits all the time when
calling my aunt.

Vicki
