<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I told you about my husband's open heart surgery 2 days after Christmas. He is doing quite well and is recovering nicely.</DIV>
<DIV>His older sister passed away today after dealing with lung cancer for several years. We thought she was doing well, but on New Year's day she started declining rapidly. She was 59 years old.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My younger brother passed away 9 months ago. Make peace with siblings and hug the furbabies, because one just never knows.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am sure she stopped to pet my Lemon and pick up her big fluffy Golden Retriever when she crossed The Bridge.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lubbs to all,</DIV>
