Not related to gunmaking but one of our memebers,Tom Merkley
lost his 33 year old wife and she was buried today.She had been
battling cancer and when thought to be in remission,it came back
and took her away from her husband and 8 year old son.
Google Jennifer Merkley and her death notice and picture will come up.

Let us not forget about her parents too.  From the obituary it appears they have lost both of their children.  God Bless them all.  J.D.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.  My son and I are managing ok for now.  We have a long way to go and don't have the option to give up.  Hopefully the next year will be better all the way around.  And yes, my wife's brother died from cancer earlier this year.  There were only two children.  Hope you all have a good new year.
