Ginny - checking in for he first time in a while. I hope all is going well for you and you have a good time on the 27th. Jim

Ginny, Checking in and saw your post - hard to believe it is two years. I'm happy you are doing well. Jim

Carleen, I am so sorry. Jim

I'm so sorry - and I understand. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim

I had the same feeling about Ada. I didn't want time to go by because the more time that went by the more Ada was in the past. It has been over two years now and this feeling has subsided somewhat - but I can relate to what you are feeling. Jim

My thoughts and prayers are with you both. Jim

Merry Christmas Ginny

Ever since the Bob Hope Christmas show in Sattihip, Thailand in 1968 - everyone sang Silent Night at the end of the show - sad but good memories. Ever since then I loved that song and had huge respect for Bob Hope. Jim

Steeler fan here. Grew up in Greensburg, Pa went to school at Pitt. I was a Cleveland fan last week - hoping they would beat the Bengals.

I am so sorry for your loss - my prayers are with you and your family. Jim

You are both in my thoughts and prayers. Jim

It was two years on September 20th that Ada died. It is still tough living without her but I'm doing OK. I still check in on the board once in a while to keep up with things. It is still the positive and supportive place that Ada loved. I think Ada would have wanted me to post - Jim

I'm so sorry. Jim

Ginny, I was thinking of you last night while watching the Steelers - Eagles game. Hope you are doing OK. Jim

Happy anniversary Don - I hope you guys have a great day. Jim

Shelly, I saw your post and just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Jim

Shelly, I'm sure Ada gave your Mom an extra hug. Jim

Angie, You and your family are in my prayers. Jim

Ginny, Congradulations on the house - I need to start working on the same thing. Sorry about the Eagles - maybe next year it will be the Eagles and the Steelers. Of course that means the Eagles would have to lose again. Jim

Thanks Connie

Ginny, I saw your post - I hope you are doing OK. Four months is not a long time and the holidays are tough. I know you have great support - you deserve it - with all the support you give others. I think of Earl every time the Eagles are on television. Maybe it will be the Eagles and the Steelers in the Super Bowl (Earl and I would have had an issue then). I know what you mean about everyone thinking you are doing OK - but your not doing that great when you are alone and have time to think. I still get that sudden sadness sometime when I'm driving or alone at night. It's been 15 months since Ada has been gone - It's so hard to adjust to losing your soul mate - Your were such a good friend to Ada - She really valued your friendship. I hope you find peace and have a good holiday. Jim

Ginny, Nothing better than mountains and "cranberry juice" to lift the spirits. We have a cabin in the Chambersburg/Gettsburg area - no place better to relax and get your mind straight. I'm happy to hear you had a good time. I'm sure your family is giving you lots of support and comfort. Jim

It will be one year tomorrow that I lost Ada. It has been tough year and I miss her very much. I haven't posted much but I check in often. I find it difficult sometimes but I know this place was so important to her. I don't know how many people here remember Ada - there are so many new members. But I know there are still some of her friends out there. She was a wonderful person who cared so much for others and especially this group. I just wanted to honor her by mentioning the one year anniversary. When Ginny's Earl passed away it really seemed to affect me - Ginny and Ada had become good friends and talked often on the phone. It just seemed like another chapter closing. In general I am coping fairly well - my kids are great and my job keeps me in a constant "overload" state (one of those good news bad news things). Going back to PA for my 40th HS reunion next month. It will be good to see some "old" friends. Anyhow, thanks for listening - continuing to hope for the very best for everyone here. Jim

Thanks Connie Jim

Ginny, I was so sorry to read your post - my thoughts and prayers are with you. Jim
