Thank you, Andrea ... we did, indeed. So sad - the sun has not been quite as bright since he left, and I have often wondered what depths of despair he must have been feeling.

Indeed, Jan, well-said ... I often think of how horribly lonely and depressed he must have been to be so loved and yet so alone, (his wife right down the hall when he killed himself). I have been in that place, and found my way out ... but the world loved him so - he brought so much joy to us, and it is such a tragedy.
