also I am finally reading that this was meant for a friend of yours. You answered me HERE about that and I don't know if I ever saw your answer. So sad.

rereading this one and wondering if you put it into Frank's contest. I entered an old epigram that I don't even like of mine. This one is a GOOD one. You should enter it, unless you used another one already??

This truly is sad, Harry. If you have really experienced this type of loss, I am so sorry. The world can be quite "offensive" at times. Just yesterday a friend told me he didn't believe in God because bad things happen to good people. Sure wish you lived in the states; I'd love to chat with you. Best wishes in the contest with this powerful, heartfelt epitaph, my friend. Love, Carolyn
