This is from "The Little Prince":
"In one of the stars I shall be living
In one of them I shall be laughing
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night
...and there is sweetness in the laughter of all the stars...
and in the memories of those you love"
With heartfelt sympathy
Love Linda
