I just received an e-mail from Cinta about 10 minutes ago. Her loved one was placed on hospice on the 12th. She said that today, he sadly passed away. He's no longer in pain. I told her that I would let her friends and well wishers here at NGA know about her loss. Please let her know that we all care and are sorry for her losses. She also lost her mother some months ago and has barely healed from that. Hopefully, in time she'll be able to return to posting on this site.

Thank you all for the kind words. I really appreciated every one of your sentiments and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. It really is strange that most of us have not met in person but are close in friendship. You all are my loving garden friends and I dearly appreciate you.
