Awww, JIM. This is disheartening news. I have so thoroughly enjoyed our few
visits together. And I hope something somewhere will intervene with that
diagnosis. But, it is a crossing we all have to make, sooner or later.
Though there is no expiration date stamped on our foot, we know its
waiting. I'm 80 years now, and I know the Coiste Debadar is out there. It
comes for us all eventually.

You shall be missed, and I will miss you. I wish for your last days peace
and traquility.
