   I am so very sorry to hear about Sue. My deepest sympathy and   
   condolences to you. I hope you have a fine collection of her   
   photographs.   
      
   We've had a few ups and downs with health around here, but since DH's   
   father is still going strong at 101 with all his wits about him, we're   
   hoping we both go gently into our old age as he has, though the term   
   "crap shoot" might be applied to the FIL more than one would like.   
      
   It does seems weird to even contemplate it, but I will be 75 in 6   
   months and DH will be 73 then. We convinced at least one of the kids   
   to breed, so there is a grandchild to fuss over-at least online- that   
   part of the family lives in Taiwan.   
      
   All the best.
