to those who have experienced personal troubles lately...

[smokeonthewater]

There have been a few folks here experiencing loss or difficulties and many others have commented with words of encouragement and consolation.

I know that many of you know each other personally or at least have talked on here for years but I'm pretty new here and haven't felt comfortable commenting. Because of that, while I have been reading, I've kept quiet as I didn't really know what to say that wouldn't seem hollow coming from a stranger.

From my limited time here this seems to be a great group of people with a real desire to help each other.

I want to make a blanket statement that I sincerely wish each and every one of you the best in difficult times as well as in the good times.
