    I am so sorry for your loss.

    I lost my 22 year old brother to the same evil disease last year and my fiance lost his mum to the same thing just 7 weeks before that.

    One of the things that was said and has stuck in my mind since then is this:

    "God only picks the best flowers for his garden"

    My thoughts are with you xxxx

    (((((((HUGS))))))) Jackie, thinking of you. I have a dear friend in Scotland, we were at school together in the late 1960s and have kept in touch ever since even though I've moved house (and country) many times. I keep thinkig I MUST go and visit her soon, because one day one of us won't be there any more.
