lynninnm...me too, lynn. Hoping you are finding strength somehow & comfort in family & friends sharing memories..continued prayer to you & yours & friends who are suffering from these losses.

I have this saying taped by my keyboard which has been a reminder for myself many times. Hugs to you, Jeanne S.

"We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails."

Thank you both for your kind thoughts. The baby shower I co-hosted yesterday was a bit muted, as we were all missing our dear friend and still wondering what happened, as she was very healthy, athletic and only in her early 50's. I was hoping that another close friend at the shower who's a judge would have more info to tell us, but she hasn't heard anything more yet, herself. So, we're all still waiting to hear what the police investigation finds.

Jeanne, thank you so much for that lovely quote. I've never heard that one and really like it. I'm going to send it to my friends and to my brother, as well.
Lynn
