    Fabulous, humbling, inspirational article

    THANK YOU so much for this intense article laced and soaked with empathy for an unfortunate and unknown person. One must approach, or at least witness, an actual death in order to pen such lines or think such thoughts. The deceased appreciates your words. And so do I.
