Thanks bomber. I've been blessed by having some really nice relatives. Paulette's mom (my aunt) still sends me a birthday and Christmas card every year and treats me like her son. I am at a loss for words as to what to say when I see her. As tragic and painful as I find this to be, I'm awkward at expressing proper condolences. I guess there's nothing a person can say that will take away the grief that I'm sure she's feeling.
