Thank you, Sue. The prob. is: He just died too young and the world was robbed of such a fine man.

I wrote the eulogy, and called his wife so she did know it's in her inbox for tomorrow.

I only told her Mom a snippet, and a friend (here) heard her laughing - through the phone.

My thought, just no more deaths. I've written two eulogies this month, and lost some really dear people. Now... I guess it is the memories that will sustain, but it still sucks hugely.

Anyone else dies? I'm outta commission. I am so numb.

P.S.: I told a friend tonight that I am going to live until I am so old that I am rancid. My friend laughed. Little does my friend realize: I am serious. Totally. How much heartbreak can the heart take. I am not going to contribute to anyone's pain. I'm in it for the long-haul.
