Jim, Thursday pm.

I talked with Jim's daughter, Gwen. He was agitated and
trying to get out of bed earlier and is now sedated. She
doesn't think it will be long now. I asked her to convey my
best wishes and love to him. She said she and her sisters are
comforted by the concern we have shown for Jim. I mentioned
my two most positive thoughts, that he lived his life to the
hilt (or so it seemed to me) and that in a way he would be
living on through all of us who would be remembering him all
over the world, and she agreed with that. I was kind-of
appalled that I was more obviously upset than she was....

I was relieved to reach Gwen. As I said before, I spent a
sleepless night last night, and found myself thinking of Jim
at regular intervals. At one point, I suddenly had a strong
feeling of peace/relief, as if someone (Jim?) had told me he
was okay now. I didn't know what to make of that. Then I
started calling around 2 pm eastern time, only to get the
message that the phone wasn't in service. I tried a few more
times, and got the same response. I actually tried to call
Graham (from afpf), but I don't think any of my phones have
service to other countries now. Then I started searching the web. The
brain cell finally kicked in, and I vaguely recalled the first
number being wrong... :-(

Lou...

You are an angel for supporting Jim's family.
