I am so saddened to let you all know about the death of Gail's husband, Brian Wentink yesterday morning. He died suddenly of a heart attack and had recently celebrated his 60th birthday. Needless to say Gail is taking it hard but the outpouring of good thoughts and well-wishes has helped.

Gail is aware I am posting this so perhaps the moderators could 'stick' it to the top for a while in the event she logs on she can easily find your comments. I have been lucky to get to know Gail and Brian very well over the past many years and I think I can honestly say they are some of the most kind and good-hearted people you would ever know and for this to have happened is such a tragedy.

It was said once that happiness is easily shared but sorrow must be endured alone, but I think knowing that so many people are keeping Gail and the entire family in their thoughts might help ease some pain, even if only a little.

With a heavy heart,

Baxter

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost. (copied from a portion of a bereavement letter from Abraham Lincoln to the Mrs. Bixby during the Civil War)

I always thought it was a wonderful passage to express sympathy for a person's grief upon the death of a loved one.

I will pray for Gail.
