FWIW, when my father passed away (4 yrs ago next month), I saw this quote. I don't remember if it was on a sympathy card or a mass card or what, but it summed it up. I still have it on my e-mail signature. It's so true!!
"Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal. Love leaves a memory that no one can steal."
TIS
"Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind. War will exist until that distant day when the conscientious objector enjoys the same reputation and prestige that the warrior does today." JFK
It's so true!!
