It's with sadness we remember those who have gone before, and we never forget...Delice

Indeed, we will, Line. Every day I realize how many of my old friends have crossed the bar before me. I wonder why I am still around, but I dutifully carry on! I raise a glass to them......

I'm with you Line, a simple act like raising a glass is a heartfelt tribute to those gone before us. Tom
