Subject: RE: BS: The Greatest Thing Youve Done
An ending.

When I started this thread, I had just rushed across the street to help our neighbor, who'd been lying in a snowbank, flat on her back, in a freezing rain. She'd had 17 strokes in the last few years, and heart surgery several times. When I went over to he, she looked up with such gratitude in her eyes because she said that she thought that she going to die there it that freezing rain, with cars driving by, not able to hear her feelbe cries for help. Last night, she died in her sleep, warm in her own bed. Her alarm clock was still going off, when her step-son came in the house to take her for a Doctor's appointment. I came over to see what was happening, five minutes later and found out that she had died.

Today I am reminded of the true meaning of "Rest In Peace."
