But, on the plus side, it does sound like she must have lived her life exactly as you described it to have had that many visitors at the wake. That does say a lot about a person, doesn't it?<BR/><BR/>On a sports note, just thought maybe you might be interested in checking out another blog. This one is written by the fiance of one of my daughter's former roommates (as well as that the young lady is also my son's former girlfriend too from high school.) Anyway, Paul's blog is dedicated primarily to baseball.
