Phil,
    Our sympathies to you and your family.  I know it is tough to lose a 
loved one.  Especially close to the Christmas Season.

Thanks, Irma. This hits home for me as we lost my father-in-law this 
morning.
We all had time to say our goodbyes, though, as he was diagnosed with an
untreatable form of Leukemia back in June. He really was a second father to 
me
and will be missed.
