Now we know why they are called 'morticians!' So much to ponder here, Karen. Thanks, Gershon

I think they must have nerves of steel to see people in the darkest moments and yet remain pleasant somber yet professional!

Karen! I have been to a baby funeral. I can tell what you’re talking about.. I don’t understand why poets are afraid of death as it is real as life…Just turn on the news,you’ll find out and I’ll find out!Anyway, in my life I sat and cried in the funeral home because they were playing lullaby and good night Talking about real things like this. We read about flowers dying which is fine, but babies are more important., A flower can die and that’s pretty natural but a baby dying…is not! Pangie xx
