Subject: RE: Breeze:Do we like dead people b/c of ...
Some people do get sanctified when they shuffle off this mortal coil, I've never understood it. A woman I met on the telephone told me the strangest story about her dead lover. His family was fighting over how and where he was to be buried and she was totally disconsolate. They had always enjoyed reading poetry together, so she was able, somehow,to gain entrance to the hospital cold room where the remains are kept. For three nights she pulled out the drawer and for one hour read him the poems he so loved.I'm still not over that revalation. It's kind of a peculiar phrase-do we like dead people? She evidently did. Slainte, Mickey191
