Hi Patrick, Welcome to a great forum. I'm just sorry you need to be here. There's something that I don't see mentioned here, that I have learned is of major importance, and that is to start now to leave a legacy for your family. Now, I know how very important a positive attitude is with...

Oh Renee, I'm so sorry. I just discovered your message. Gosh, I have a hard time just getting back to the former cals group, and I never saw the message. I'm not on the forum that much, to be honest. But I will email. I understand. We were married 27 years. My email is [email protected].
