    OR, it could be BOTH No. 1. and No. 2.

    By the way...The nonsense we're being fed about "we're all living to be 85..." is just that: nonsense!

    There are 6 names on the vertical row of crypts where Jan is buried. One name is mine. The other five have already died.

    I was born in 1951. Of the five who are already "in there", four have lived less time than I have.

    And I see this throughout the mausoleum. The saddest tomb says simply, "Baby Curren 08-04-05" (meaning August 4, 2005, by the US dating practice).

    The poor kid apparently died the day of birth, without even being named.

    Very sad.

    Farewell Jan

    Jim
    I do not know of a single person who met her who does not miss Jan.

    However, Most of us also met YOU and enjoyed that experience as well. Whilst we miss her and regret her passing I for one, I can not speak directly for the others, would very much like to continue our aquaintance with you in the longer term.

    Miss Jan, that's right, respectfull and proper.

    Just, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, remember you have our support and your best interests at heart. Our problem is the distance between us in the physical sense and that we can not turn up to help you when you are feeling despondent and in need of solace.
    We are here on line. What support we can give, we will give freely.

    With the greatest of respect.

    Thank you, Jim.

    The support of our many friends here on the BBS and the UBC has been critically important to me in getting through these rough times. You've all been more help to me than you will probably ever know.

    1944

    Thats when I was born Jim,

    A little older or not, I am always willing to listen or talk,

    Talk appears to be my speciallity (most of it Crap!) though I am more than willing to listen,

    With the time differential you could view our reply's over your Breakfast,

    Feel free to talk openly,

    Though PM is fine,

    Regards, Bernard.

    Thanks, Bernard. And here's wishing you'll still be here to talk (and listen) in 2044.
