bunny - your death has disturbed more
than any death in recent years
as I wrote to a friend who knew ViVi
"it has to be a past life thing, and
in the wedding photo [1937] showing
her marriage to Nicky, she does look
so much like my wife Sarah..."
in fact, if it were not for ViVi,
I would've died when I was 22,
and I met Sarah thru Vivi -
-"" there is no other explanation -
--she is in my dreams and they
are very present"
