WD>> It is with a heavy heart that I am tasked to inform you of the passing WD>> of Anita Felten, wife of our colleague-sysop, RC20 and Fidonews-editor WD>> Bjorn Felten, early this morning.
Unfortunately I didn't receive Ward's original message and I've only just seen this one.
I am so sorry for Bjorn because I can sympathise with him completely. My own dear wife, Ann, passed away very suddenly four months ago. She had peritonitis, a perforation of the intestine, and died within five hours. As soon as she arrived in hospital they took a CT scan which revealed, not just the peritonitis, but that it was caused by a cancer which had already spread to the liver and lymph glands - and we had no previous knowledge of it! The inquest into her death took place less than a week ago.
So Bjorn, my friend, I am with you in spirit. May you be strong in these difficult days.
With my very best wishes, David
