reading many of his posts and was thankful for the knowledge he imparted upon me.  I’m hoping he is watching over all of us now and probably getting a good laugh.  May he Rest In Peace.

Mrs. Johnson, thank you for taking the time to post your message.

While you cope with your loss, you have had to take care of the tasks and jobs that are attendant to someone's death.  The busy-ness of dying.  May you find some small solace in the messages of remembrance offered to you.

When looking through a thread over the years, dkjretired was a name I associated with words like friendly, thoughtful, and informative. 

Please be easy with yourself during this time of grief and sadness.
