So as not to give offense, I won't identify the Mudcatter by member name.
But the member casually let drop, on a music thread,
that an elderly parent died in October (last month)
and that the member not only spoke at the parent's funeral
but made music, in spite of being intensely emotional about it.

Go ahead and jump on me for my anonymous comment if you must, but
I want to say that the member in question
has my deepest sympathy and appreciation. Thanks.
