Such a shock! <br /><br />There have been others that have passed with a short message from loved ones to let us know .... and then there are those that just vanish and we just don't know why :-(<br /><br />I'll make sure LH comes on to let you know if anything happens to me, well he hijacked the blog once before so he should be able to do it again!!
