I find that very puzzling , indeed. I don't think its puzzling at all. I don't think you need to personally know someone to be kind with your words. I didn't know Princess Diana, or Mother Theresa, however their passing was painful as well, because their life's had meaning. They were also trying to make a difference. I didn't know Robert either, but I had friends who were very fond of him, and that had value to me. I am not puzzled at all, as you can see. Now, this is it for me. I have bets going on on private emails that you will keep posting because you have to have the last word.....I wonder who is going to win the money....LOL Ileana Chance favors the prepared mind ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
