Thanks, SJ. So many people I’ve chatted with over the years. So sad.

I’ll have to put something in my will about having family notify FR of my passing. Nothing planned yet, but I’m 74. Dad’s mom lived to 99, my paternal uncle lived to 99, but Dad passed in his mid 70s. We never know when it’s our time.

Makes me sad all over again...upsetting that many seemed to have died relatively young.

Legion, who introduced me to FR, passed away quite a bit ago as well. Been about 11 years.

Always hits hard seeing the names no longer with us and especially the ones I remember conversing with but never knew had passed. Thank you guys for keeping the names in memoriam.
