Suzanne, I have no words to offer as to why things are going the way they are, but rest assured, I am thinking about you daily. This is sad news, but surely something good is going to happen no matter what. We are all looking forward to our tub mate, and I will do anything I can to help you all out on the cruise.
Take good care, and keep us posted as much as you are comfortable doing. Some will say this is Gods will, some will say it is fate. I will say find comfort in your own beliefs, and things will turn out as they are supposed to. I hope that we see you on the cruise, but if not, I do like the reasons you gave for passing!
