    I am also a 'lurker'as above, but, Smokey, I just wanted to say that I can't imagine what you are going through but I want to say that my thoughts are with you and your family at this very difficult time

    Smokey you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.



    I'm trying to find a way of keeping the knitting thread open. Hopefully we can move it to the charities board. Please leave it with me for a couple of days. The team aren't likely to be around on a Sunday.
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    As with everyone else you're in my thoughts. I've been drawn in to looking for news everyday. So sorry the news isn't better today.

    no more to say.
