[tri-wings] Re: inconsiderate relatives

Linda,

You are so right about people comparing your loss to a parent or friend.
But by golly they better not compare my sweet Laura to a pet.  I would have

compare to my precious angel.  I just had to add my two cents worth.


Hope and Robert, proud parents of Laura Virginia Huey our angel (01/05/01 -
03/19/01, FT-18), Georgia USA Website:  www.geocities.com/lauravhuey
