First I'd like to thank Mama Red and Princess Lenora, precious, precious people, as are the rest of you. I know there'd be more to name if I'd made this announcement sooner. Because of untamed emotions - on my part - I wasn't strong enough to 'go public,' so to speak. I don't think either MR or PL would mind me saying that we were in private conversations for other matters when they learned.

I don't know how long this link will work, but as it is now, the obituary for my dad is now available online: MY DAD.

luv ya all...mona... & I'll be back.
