Willie, Laurie led me to this thread this morning and this is the first time I have taken to read it.

Willie, I remember not too long ago p/ming you because you had written the most beautiful words for someone. They were kind, reassuring, positive and just plain lovely.

Now it is our turn to try to say a few things to you that are just as kind, understanding and loving as you always are.

I might skim some posts just because of the time factor - but I never, ever skim yours.

You are one of the people that make Pet Talk so great and I don't know what we would do without you.

I am here for you, all of us are here for you and I CARE!

Life is just plain difficult sometimes and overwhelming.

I am really sorry that you have hit a "down" trend........but I hope some of the fun posts made earlier will make you smile and make you feel better.

YOU ARE WELL LOVED!

If I were closer, I would bring over a Mario six-pack - give you a big hug and sit down and chew the fat with you for a while.
