Thanks again everyone.

Our area is seeing more of the one day funeral visitation/services. Not a bad thing.

Our sympathies to all of you, again.

Agreed, they are a good thing.

I've spoken with my brother by phone and he seems OK for now. Then again he's the oldest and feels he needs to be stoic all the time but I know that can't last. I just want to be there when that quits working for him.

I feel that way too, Raymo. Vintage has helped me through some very rough times in the past 6 or 7 years.

I'm glad that you're watching your brother. Your support will do you both a lot of good.

I'm so sorry to read this, Mike. My heart goes out to you and your family. 2011 has been very cruel to you. I so hope the remainder of the year improves for you. You and Barb are wonderful, wonderful folks for whom Jim and I care deeply. Please accept our sincere condolences.

Aww, honey, so sorry to hear this, my dear Raymo Guy. I just got word of your loss and popping on to offer you and your family my prayers and condolences during this time. You know how we circle the wagons when one of ours is in pain or trouble and just because I can no longer play like I used to does not mean that I love you guys any less. Glad you're hanging tough with your brother who is probably still in shock. 2011 has GOT to get better.
