Tony as you know our family will continue to pray for you, your wife and other family. What a joy to be able to sorrow, but not as those who have no hope. The next few days will be difficult, but God's grace is sufficient. We all gather around you!

Thanks so much to everyone.

Gunner, i fouind this interesting, you probably know. Was at my local garage today for inspection.
Owned by two mid-sixtyish Russians, been in U.S. For 40yrs. Love America.
Guy tells me he was special forces Russian Army training to go to Vietnam to fight America, prayed he wouldn't have to go. Got lucky and everything wound up ending before it happened.
Knew they were supplying weapons and advisors but they were ready to send troops also.

We are tending to my Mother-in-law day and night.....she is really overwhelmed now. Things will have to "settle down" before I can concentrate on the project again.

I have a little time for another update......
My wonderful Mother-in-law is now hospitalized under 24 hour watch..
The next week will determine if she has the strength to live. My wife and siblings are having a very rough time.
The project will be on hold longer than I thought.
Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers

Tony, I realize this is a lot on the plate, and going from one to the other so quickly. I have heard of many cases where when one spouse dies, the surviving one goes shortly after. A true case of the two shall become one and til death do us part. Just remember there is grace that is sufficient. Enjoy the moments while you have them. We will keep praying! The Vette will wait without complaint!

oldgto and members..........thanks for another round of thoughts and prayers.
Rather than just dropping out (of sight) I'm trying to visit the Forum between stressful situations. My mother-in-law is under 24 hour care and will need more tests to see if the grief has caused a stroke that has affected her entire body mentally and physically.
As for the Vette, I make sure to run my hand over the fender each time I'm leaving the house just to make sure it's still there and waiting for calmer days to arrive.
