OMG Ann!
I am just now reading this! How horrible for you and your husband! I didn't know about Marcel either! Lordy what a month!
Listen, you guys can move to Illinois and be my guests until you have new jobs and a place to live. The only things we worry about are bees and brown recluse spiders! And Skeeter would LOVE to have Marcel for a playmate! (or a chew toy

)
At any rate, I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. But the prayers will be extra long and loud on Saturday this week!
Hugs to you and yours. I'm gonna go look for your Marcel thread to see what happened.
