1176148 I'm sorry for what you're going through, Martha. Do the best to take care of yourself and enjoy your short trips on Route 66 (see the rhyming there? 😎 That's where you get your kicks... on Route 66 (I tried to sing it but my singing voice ain't what it used to be.)

Best wishes to you, Tutu and your family
