Allan: I just hope that she hasn't had to wait too long. See, She had a part of 
her colon removed a while back, and had to have a colonoscopy bag while that 
healed. Then, they took that out and that had to heal. But all this time the 
Oncologist had been rushing the surgeon (like he can control her rate of 
healing) to clear her to start her chemo, cause the oncologist thinks it may 
have spread to her liver etc. So,, even with losing her husband today, the 
oncologist insists that she's on borrowed time already and MUST have her 
treatments starting tomorrow. His viewing it Tuesday night, and funeral on 
Wednesday. I just hope that Jane will not be so sick that she can't even get 
out of bed from the chemo. It's sad all the way around, cause like I have said, 
these ppl are the salt of the earth type folks, Chuck

drill a hole into a #2 washtub, then tie a rope through the hole, then connect 
the other end to a broom handle, then "strum" the rope like a bass, and it 
sounds JUST like a big bass guitar). Anyway, they had a country/gospel band and 
would go all around, playing in tiny churches etc. But he was nice as he could 
be that night, and never wavered in the nearly 15 years I knew him. He'd give 
you the shirt off his back. He loved God, and he loved his Family. Chuck
