@ Chris, Tom, Stefan, Richard and RagIII, thanks again for your kind words, thoughts and taking the time to express them here on the Forum. I am glad for our last several years of an amicable relationship, we had some good times and that is what I recall.
@ RagIII, I can fully appreciate your situation with your mother. Mine might as well live in AZ with the distance and time factor. The state and county are in the process of getting her in assisted living. She doesn't have dementia but.........
Thanks again folks, your comments and well wishes duly appreciated.
Best
Mark
