Alan I am truly sorry for your loss. I am not going to debate particulars of your post since at the end of the post you say you get pissed off writing about it. I am not here to piss you off with regard to Jane. I know I am right just by what you already said. And going tit for tat will not serve any purpose right now. I hope the road ahead for you smoothes out a little bit.
