It must be so difficult to be so far from loved ones, and I send my heart felt sadness and support to all those who are experiencing loss at this time. I know a flood of language is welling up out there - but I think it will be our acts that shape the outcome for the next while. bless us all at this time. kathryn ________________________________________________________________________________ "We live with strangers. those we love most, with whom we share a shelter, a table, a bed, remain mysterious.
