I am so sorry for your loss Debbi. It is so difficult to go through, even if it is not unexpected. I hope and pray for peace and strength for you and your family.
Both Mary and my hearts go out to you. You and Mark are both great people with good hearts. I hope that your load lightens, as well as your heart, very soon...
I do not know you very well, but I know you have contributed a lot to this message board and the costuming community in general. I am truly sorry for your loss.
