Thank you Sarah for your kind remarks regarding the message i posted. I did make one little mistake though, i wrote that it was my 9th Birthday that my mother passed away, but actually it was my 8th. Sarah, i also wrote that i am fairly new to using my PC and being nearly 79 years of age i am finding it hard to navigate about on various sites, this being one. After i posted that message i received a personal message from another member on this forum, a person i now know i am related to, that person being Dukeslane (Alan) and i was so pleased to hear from anyone on the site, and more than pleased to hear from him, that i wanted to send him a personal message myself but an error box came up telling me that i could not send a personal myself. Could you please tell me how to get around this problem as i would be most obliged, Thank you. Pat.
