To all of you who have shared condolences with me : Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Neither Eric nor I were smokers but lived in environments that probably contributed to his getting sarcoid and my getting MAC. The outpouring of kindness and support has been beyond anything my dear husband would have imagined as he was a quiet man. One of our ten is a soccer couch for a high school team, head of another soccer league , and a social worker! The amount of support there has been overwhelming! Fifty five years together , ten children, sixteen grand babies, and our first great grand baby in March is quite a blessing and a true gift. I am so glad my husband can finally breathe. God is good all the time! Blessings, Irene
