I read your post earlier this morning, Paula, then I went away for awhile, hoping that somehow I would find - somewhere - some words to help you through this. I didn't find them. From your messages in the past it seems that you and Jim have a special bond that few people find, and I can only imagine how difficult this process is going to be for you both.

All I can say is that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
