Hi Janice,
Thank God for people like Sharon who look for things like this. I wish I would have known sooner, but at least we all know now. My heart goes out to you. No one wants to lose a loved one; much less a husband. I can't even imagine what that feels like. Just know that I will pray for him and think of you often. Hang in there because you will see him again one day.
