Barry:  I am sorry to be reading about the death of your mother. She was very attractive and clearly a bright woman with wonderfully varied interests. You may have read that we lost our daughter Emily last September. Eternity has never felt so close. My parents died on the same day, January 19th 2002. Their departure was a sea change for me. There was no longer a jetty protecting me from the waves of the infinite ocean. Bkess you my friend and God speed now and in the days ahead.
