Hi Jerry & Angelia,

Thanks for the welcome and encouragement. Finding this website last week was a great help and emotional support, definitely has helped with my healing to know I'm not alone.

I've had a strange turn of events, and am looking for guidance, in this thread:

Someone over there said the "brians and jerrys" would have more info. Jerry, is that perhaps you? :^) Since you suggested it, I'll email you as well.

Appreciatively,

Rahel
