    Mike...so sorry to hear your news about Joyce. I too will be thinking about you, and hope these words from us all help in some small way.

    [align=left]Gone From My Sight
    I am standing upon the seashore.
    A ship at my side spreads her white
    sails to the morning breeze and starts
    for the blue ocean.
    She is an object of beauty and strength.
    I stand and watch her until at length
    she hangs like a speck of white cloud
    just where the sea and sky come
    to mingle with each other.
    Then, someone at my side says;
    "There, she is gone!"
    "Gone where?"
    Gone from my sight. That is all.
    She is just as large in mast and hull
    and spar as she was when she left my side
    and she is just as able to bear her
    load of living freight to her destined port.
    Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
    And just at the moment when someone
    at my side says, "There, she is gone!"
    There are other eyes watching her coming,
    and other voices ready to take up the glad
    shout;
    "Here she comes!"
    And that is dying.[/align]

    Mike.
    I'm so sorry to hear your sad news.

    I'm quite new to this site but you are still a 'virtual' friend so please believe me when I say that I'm happy to offer any support that I can.

    Dear Mike

    I'm thinking of you and sending you my warmest thoughts in your sadness.

    I believe in nature, nothing ever is really lost, it just takes another form and thrives elsewhere. Life and death are a never ending cycle which we are all part of and what may appear to us as an end, is really the start of something new. Celebrate Joyce's life and take joy and comfort in remembering the person she was and the person she made you become.

    Please come and post again, when you can get a quiet minute, so we can know you are there and doing ok, I hope it won't be too long before you can smile again through your sadness.

    Love Kath
