Sad news all around......and an update....

::I was very shocked and saddened to wake up to the news of Mike Phillips' death. The interview MP did with him was one of the best and we are so very fortunate to have gotten a small glimpse into this incredible man. As for Colleen McDonald from the 1920 Mohicans...she has gone onto hospice and is no longer eating. Donna had offered the great idea of sending her cards, but it is really not possible. She wouldn't understand what they were for. I am meeting with her family in the next day or two and I will see if there is anything we Mohicanlanders can do for them. And another grim piece of news I have to add, as if all this weren't enough. On the news this morning there was a story about a murder/suicide. A mother apparently killed her children and then herself. The reason I bring this up is--it is my sister's boss's sister-in-law (and my former boss). That is getting way too close to home for my comfort! Sorry to be such an downwer, but I had to share this with my fellow Mohicanites. Here's hoping that tomorrow will be a much better day!...PP
