mereco, the new year is surely off to a bad start for you. Sorry for all your troubles. If I were you, I'd be thinking about crawling into my bed and staying there until 2005.

Stay Strong

Meroco when we have tradgedy in the mountains we deal with it by doing exactly what we did when our lost ones were with us.
When my grandfather died we dug the grave ourselves and then filled it in after the funeral. When we left the cemetary we went berry picking along the road back home and all the cousins sat on his front porch and ate blackbeeries with our grandmother and shared our favorite stories with each other.
Large close familys are blessed with much love but we are also cursed with much pain when something happens. I will gladly endure the pain to continue to receive the love.
Hang strong.
John
