I would like to thank Jenny-Louise and Donald for answering my request. My
Grandmother died from heart failure at age 54. My father died of the same
cause, angina, and enlarged heart at age 62. My brother Jack has had several
heart attacks, and now my youngest brother 39 has serious problems and told
he will not work again.  We all have hypertension.
I wish you well Donald, and will pray for you.
Thanks again,
Yours aye,
   Dorothy
