Omie wise, Little darling pall of mine, The Fatal weding,The FFV Dont forget when most of these were written the average life span was about 40 years. Death from childbirth. A man may have had 3 or 4 wifes. So you see death was a common occurance and accepted. The concept of a Heaven was very comforting. A strong religious faith made comming into and leaving this earth much easier... Good luck on your project Allan
