carronstar Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I am so very sorry. I was lurking in your thread last week. I couldn't post because it was too similar to what I was going through. I firmly believe that you did give Avalanche the life with whipped cream and the cherry on top. Godspeed, Avalanche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
