Dear Jackie....I was sorry to hear of your husband's illness and now of his passing away. I hope that you, the children, and the rest of his family will find the strength and peace needed to go through this hard time. You must all be exhausted. Twenty months is a long time for a person to be sick. I am thinking of you during this time. Take good care of yourself and each other. Love, Lola (sister to Larry) and my husband, Ray.Hibbing, MN 01/02/2013 9:45 AM
