I'm sorry for your loss Gonzo. I said a prayer for you and yours. I hope and pray your grief is bearable.
57 IS young. Course, the closer we get to 80, the younger it looks.
As an American you have the right to not believe in guns. You also have the right to not believe in God. But if someone is trying to break into your home, or wants to harm you, the first thing you will do is pick up the phone and call someone with a gun. The second thing you will do is pray that they get there in time. ~Don Moore
