I am so sorry to hear about Larry's passing. He was a great boss to me when I worked at ABC. I hope the following poem offers some comfort. Kathleen Estes



Death is nothing at all



I have only slipped away into the next room.

I am I and you are you.

Whatever we were to each other that we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name,

speak to me in the easy way you always used.

Put no difference into your tone,

wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed at the

little jokes we enjoyed together.

Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.

Let my name be the household name it always was.

Let it be spoken without the shadow of a ghost in it.

Life means all that it ever meant.

It is the same as it ever was.

What is death, but a negligible accident?

Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight?

All is well, nothing is lost.

One brief moment and all will be as it was before.
