Valerie... I can't believe that the last time we talked would be the last time. My thought for you: There are stars whose radiance is visible on Earth though they have long been extinct. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world even though they are no longer among the living. These lights are particularly bright when the night is dark. They light the way for humankind. Until Valhalla. Bob Zaleski Troup County
