WOW!! I can not find the words to express my gratitude to every single one of you, my beautiful friends,
Who have taken the time to post to this thread. I feel like I am wrapped in a cloud of loving support, and right now, today, this minute I can not imagine feeling better than I do now!

Earlier in this thread someone said something about my autobiography being written,that it should be. I don't recall the exact wording. I don't know about that. I do know though that when I am gone I will be sure my best friend knows about this thread. I want the people closest to me, my husband, children and grandchildren to be able to view this be thread. I want them to see the good in the world, the kindness, the love, the music and the hope.

I know to the core of my being that this thread will bring them immense hope and very real comfort....

I wish I could reply to every post, but I just can't. I am not physically able to do so. Please know I have read and re-read every post, actually this full thread many times. I have also shared much of the music posted here with my husband, eldest granddaughter and grandson and my best friend.

Again, thank you so much. I need to stop writing now. It seems kitty is under the bed chopping onions...
