Ed, I am very sorry to hear you have lost a good friend, and that Jim's

family has lost him. I know words can't begin to provide relief from the

sense of loss and sorrow. It is a shame when the pressures heaped on a

person build to a point where escape is narrowed to one viable option in the

mind's inner workings. It is always a time of sadness when a friend is

lost, but especially so when in this manner.

In sympathy,

Gil
