She is so sweet and caring and loving to my son, I feel I have gained another beautiful daughter.   And Jim - Joel is right, you missed some entertaining stuff, but with genuine caring and compassion evident.  Joel - We will be thinking of you and sending positive vibes on the 22nd.  Hope all goes well.
