A day of sadness....

One of the dearest people in the world... a former JS'er.... a former blogger'er... is suffering a GREAT loss!

I almost mentioned her recently in an entry but thought better of it... I knew she didn't blog because her thoughts were elsewhere.... watching over her husband and best friend as he lay in the hospital, fighting a VERY big battle.

Today he lost that battle.....

Betty's (likeisaid) husband, Paul, died today.

I met them both on my trip to Dallas back in 2008, the same trip on which I met Lowandslow, Kelly, Gillardia, and Dr.Strangelove.

Paul, it was a pleasure getting to meet you!! And even though our visit was short, it was long enough to let me see WHY you were Betty's favorite person!

He is a very big loss for Betty. The only comfort is the fact that he no longer suffers any pain. And now perhaps he can watch over her.......



Love you Betty!
