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.

John Rodgers
