Wiz - Your tenderness is precious! A thoughtful friend indeed! JJ you are a gem of a lady!
Unlike JJ and like yourself and smiles, I also live too far away to do anything physical.
I do however, have many books in my home. If you could tell me what your friend's wife likes to read, I will be sure to send one out to her with a little note or card attached.
Smiles, I can do the same for your friend as well. If this idea is not appropriate, I surely understand.Just let me know.If it is, maybe other boomers have a book they can share with these "friends of our friends" as well.

Praying for miracles... God bless.
