GRANDMA HEHE: I hardly think this is the venue for such malicious comments...You'll perhaps understand why should you ever find yourself at the receiving end when a crisis such as this affects you; you are most assuredly ignorant, heartless and have no compassion for others. You have no idea what that woman has been through over the years; I however, do. Are you taking donations for the THERAPY you obviously require in order to become part of the HUMAN race?
