Just a few random thoughts, I know many folks will not see these, but for those still checking.....
* Something's gotta give and for me this year it is Christmas Cards. Thanks to the few folks who have sent us cards to date, but I won't be sending any out -- heck we are still working on Sympathy thank yous....
* Many people have asked if the Trish DiComo Assistance Fund is still open. It is, but I have removed the contribution button from the web site. We will likely close it out by the end of the year as we pay off Johns Hopkins. If the bills run more than the fund has we will arrange for payments with Hopkins. We did run out of insurance and the fund will assist us in paying these bills.
* We received many nice memorial gifts -- trees in Israel, American Cancer Society Donations, Mended Heart Donations and Donations to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I was asked when Trish died, where I wanted money to go in lieu of flowers and I said no where -- meaning I wanted to give Trish a grand send off with flowers and in deed you provided that grand send off. While the most obvious place to send memorial gifts is the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS), since Trish had Leukemia, but there is actually another foundation that provided us with much more assistance than the LLS did. It is Trish's college sorrority foundation. They provided us with the single largest donation to the Assistance fund. I'd like to suggest that if there is anybody out there still looking for a way to honor Trish that you consider a donation to this foundation. They even have a memorial brick program. Trish was a founding member of the Delta Gamma Chapter at the University of Central Florida. Donations can be made by contacting the Foundation: Anchor Grant Fund, Delta Gamma Foundation 3250 Riverside Drive; Columbus, Ohio 43221 or by calling 1-800-644-5414.
* Recipes. I am working on pulling togeher a cook book of Trish's favorite/frequent/most loved recipes. If you have a suggestion or request, please email me.

Chip, Please put the different pizza recipes in the cookbook. I'm excited about trying them all.
Also, the pasta we had one night with squash. I think it was those little dumpling looking things.
You are going to find a good job, but you are very wise to take some time off. You have all been through more than you probably even appreciate right now.
