Hi Cindy: I'm so sorry about your layoff but this might be the golden opportunity for you to rest, quilt, rejuvenate yourself while receiving unemployment comp and to reflect on the job opportunities that are awaiting your application. As happy, bubbly, fun and with as much personality plus as you have, some one is going to snap you up soon. I'm joining the group hug for you as well as for PATTYJO.
PATTYJO - I can't even imagine how awful it would be to lose one of my brothers. I'm so sorry. Be thankful that his passing was quick as the slow, painful process is so difficult for the patient and the family. Hugs to you.
