Sorry for your loss, Paul. You are fortunate to have been loved by and to have loved such a lovely woman. At the risk of sounding glib at such a moment a few phrases from a Facebook post a couple days ago that struck me as right about grief: "My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love....Scars are a testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to loved.” <http://m.atchuup.com/advice-on-how-to-deal-with-grief/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Eric Weir Decatur, GA USA eew...@bellsouth.net “Man has been a murderer forever.” - Peter Matthiessen. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
