And my Dad just had a stroke. He's in the ICU overnight, but otherwise things seem OK for now.

No other way to tell this, Maria (MFNlaw)'s husband died at home this morning. Just finished talking to her and she's with her parents, headed home with them. I don't know what else I should share on the open board. Feel free to email me at my username dot 1 at the gmail. Please keep her and their families in your thoughts.
