's last days

[Guest guest]

Dear Barb (Munier),

Thank you for reminding us of 's plight. To have so much courage is

certainly admirable for anyone, but to have been slapped down again and again

would depress anyone, but he kept coming back up. We do need to support him

with a brief message. He has only a few days left and how nice it would be to

see his mailbox flooded with messages to tell him what an inspiration he is to

all of us.

One of life's mysteries is the name of the author of this prose, and yet we

see it quoted over and over. Aren't there a few parting words we can say to

? He has suffered long and hard, he does not wish to prolong it any

longer. His work here is finished, let him leave with happy memories.

I Shall Not Pass This Way Again

Through this toilsome world alas!

Once and only once I pass;

If a kindness I may show,

If a good deed I may do

For a suffering fellow man,

Let me do it while I can.

No delay, for it is plain

I shall not pass this way again! ~ unknown ~

Bless you all and especially , he has shown his true colors by his valor

and accepting his fate.
