You're all so wonderful. The kindness that has been expressed over the last few weeks has been astounding and so comforting to me. What would we all do without others holding us up at the most difficult of times in our lives? Connecting with loving and caring people sustain me. I am so thankful and grateful.

This has been such a trying time for me. Just when I think I've rounded the bend, there comes another emotional blow. Trying hard to stay strong.

I've been in constant contact with my dear friend, Dolores, who lost her husband, Norm. So hard to visit with her and her daughter right now, as Dolores' head is in a spin trying to tie up so many things. But, hopefully we will see them very soon. She is like a big sister to me and I love her so much.

Norm passed away from Parkinson's disease. Today, Alan and I made a donation in Norm's memory, to the Parkinson's Center at Eisenhower, in Palm Desert, CA, where they reside. So much research yet to be done to combat and eradicate this dreaded disease. I pray that within our lifetime a cure can be found for Parkinson's, as well as so many other catastrophic diseases.
