Dear Fee:

Boy, isn't this it? Suddenly gone, these human beings, most of them even before their prime, and the two dedicated to them. I've had these thoughts in general before - of a brother, a daughter. Let it be this for me, I think. What will be, will be.

Beautiful sad sad poem.

love,
Kathy

My,my dear cuz, how do u come up with them. You certainly writing a lot about death, but hey, the older we get the closer we are to it.
I am not implying that older people pass on first,but it seems we do think about more. But it is a wonderful feeling when we feel prepared and not afraid. We should certainly live each day as if we dying. Love & hugs

That was beautiful bro. When I read the title I first thought of Mom, Dad and Jimmy. It's been over 26 years and I still find it hard to think of that year.

To all the families, relatives and friends of the souls of yesterday's events, my prayers go out to you. We as a family know the pain and suffering felt, as we lost three within a 9 month period.

Love ya bro, see you in June.

Little brother, John

Indeed, why should anyone? Why did they have to be victims of a 'mad' society? I only pray, since we cannot erase it, that some good emerges, some recognize of changes that need to be made, and I don't mean in added security. But in understanding people, and why they do these things.
