I can't imagine. I am not good at dealing with death myself. I wonder is anyone really good at it? I know some people who have had to endure many of their siblings passing. I wonder sometimes what it must be like to have a large close knit family and to be the youngest and maybe last survivor. 94 is a good solid age to have lived I suppose. Of course that doesn't take away from the loss for those left behind.&nbsp; I don't like the idea of suicide but I understand that there must be times when a person feels they are in too much pain to endure. Prayers to Jack and to you - may you have peace in knowing that he lived a life well loved. </p>
