I'm so sad to hear of your loss of your dear husband, Susan. Larry was a gallant gentleman whom I very much admired and enjoyed serving in business.
Deep condolences to you!
`Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be -
to be,
And oh, to lose.
A thing for souls, this,
And a holy thing,
a holy thing
to love.
For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
`Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.
- Yehuda Halevi
May he rest in the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
