In reply to the discussion: I've been dreading having to write this post since yesterday. [View all]Tanuki
(16,504 posts)53. May he rest in peace. I am sorry to read of his passing
and to learn of how difficult the past few years have been for him and for you. It reminds me that we never really know what our fellow DUers may be struggling with at any given time. Paul was helpful and generous with his time here and was obviously well regarded and appreciated. I hope that you will find some comfort, respite, and better days ahead. You deserve the peace and joy that I pray will come your way after so much sadness.
