My wife's mom is slipping away currently with the same cursed disease. Dealing with it's cursed reality is a burden far too many have to struggle with. Someone much earlier said "It's like losing someone twice since the one you love slips away and you're left with fragments of a love past to lose someone again." I believe as many others that she's in a much better place and sooner or later we'll all be there cheering on the Hawkeyes.</span></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480285530818_17614" dir="ltr"><span></span> </div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480285530818_17615" dir="ltr"><span>Go Hawks!.</span></div><div dir="ltr"><span></span> </div><div dir="ltr"><span>Stev</span></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480285530818_17616"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480285530818_17620" style="display: block;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480285530818_17619" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480285530818_17618" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480285530818_17617" dir="ltr"> <font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480285530818_17621" face="Arial" size="2"> <hr size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Alan Kline <alan@snugglebunny.us><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> herky@lists.herky.net <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Sunday, November 27, 2016 8:28 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [Herky] Non-Herky<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1480285530818_17622"><br>Don, my sincerest condolences to you and your family.
