Jan, my heart breaks for you and your family at this time. I actually was in computer classes at the time Dave worked at MCC. There is nothing anyone can say to take away the pain but as a believer you are aware that this is not the end. Hang on to that and all your memories. With Gods love and mine, Debbie
