So very sorry for your loss. This saying gives me comfort. Maybe it will give you some comfort too. Can't give credit, because I don't know who said it first. "Life is eternal and love is immortal, and death is just a horizon, and a horizon is nothing but the limit of our sight". I'll keep you in my prayers. Alicia was a truly lovely person.
