Fresh scent handkerchief Smells that yell like Lilly lips Widow wearing black fainting

Wow really? It is always respectful but always stressful. I hate going. Thanks for your comment.

There is a lot of decorum rigor at a funeral. This was a well written verse of the sad, stiff arena of death.

Sad one. Death is very emotionally upsetting for all concerned especially so for one as close as the spouse. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara K
