I am the youngest our our generation, and the only one who is <em>not</em> a technophobe, while the next generation, at least the ones back there, are not quite old enough. But maybe we can hire someone... Thanks too for your thoughts and kindnesses here. What an odd little extended family we have built, but it does bring a kind of comfort.

There is some comfort in that, I have found. Yes, get those photos on CD quickly. I built a still image DVD for my husband's family for Christmas this year - scanned in about 120 MB worth of photos (barely scratched the surface), added some nice transitions and music. Everyone loved it - it's a permanent record of all those memories. It's time-consuming to be sure, but a labor of love as well. As you work thru the difficult task that lies ahead with her house, entrust the photos to someone in your family who can do this (meaning not you, with your obligations you don't need the added stress...). Every generation needs to remember where it came from... Be well dear Lex - 2005 is nearly over. Just hoping for a better year in 2006 will somehow help ease the pain somewhat. Something about the act of hope inspires us to rise above. Peace. Lex – good to know you are home in your own surroundings. There is some comfort in that, I have found.

Wouldn't have happened on my watch!!! It means phone calls and recriminations which is a bad way to spend your day, and I hate extra work. Sorry to hear about your loss Captain. “…they hadn’t figured out the weight and balance right and the jet had to be re-stowed and then subsequently refueled….”

I did that for my brothers and sisters after our father died. It brought back all the sweet memories and I would call them as a picture brought back memories of fun times and we would have a laugh about it. May the New Year bring you and your family peace. Keeping ya'll in my prayers. The idea of putting the pictures on a CD is good. I did that for my brothers and sisters after our father died.

I type this as tears dry on my face. Your sister was very loved. Though I have never met either of you, I know this with all my being. What a lovely tribute sir. Thank you for sharing this in all it's sadness and terrible beauty. v/r Maggie I can not remember the last time something outside of my own family moved me so. I type this as tears dry on my face.
