Amidst all the upset, I wanted to just say that Claire read all the letters you sent; she said there were something like 50 (wow! I almost can't believe that myself) and that they were helpful. Briefly, she is doing better; is in counseling, seems still depressed but improving, and no longer talks of death. It'll be a long haul still, but I think she'll pull through. she just needed to know someone cared; and you all came through for her, and she didn't know how to thank you. I don't either. Bless you (with God or otherwise) -- you are living proof that man is basically wonderful. arwen
