Howard, I don't really know you, but my heart goes out to you and your loved ones. Sometimes it is so painful to see the sadness and loss that death and illness bring upon us today. It is obvious that there are folks here that care about you, so you must be a person of character. I was made to think while reading this thread, of the scripture that talks about the value of one's name, Eccl 7:1,2 "A name is better than good oil, and the day of death than the day of one’s being born. Better is it to go to the house of mourning than to go to the banquet house, because that is the end of all mankind; and the one alive should take [it] to his heart." I know the scripture is refering to making a good name with God, but the principle also applys to the name we make with each other.

Although not knowing you in the "real" world, it is clear to me from the reaction here, that this is something you have done, and done well. I hope you do live on and they are wrong, but if your time is short, spend it in the peaceful knowledge that you are loved, and you made a difference in peoples lives. Also secure in the hope that when the God of tender mercies "wipes out every tear from our eyes", he will remember you in his promised paradise. Warmest regards, Rob
