A beautiful, but very sad picture.

It is very sad. And says to me that grief and heart-break do not respect the bounds of "traditional marriage" - why should love?

Thanks for the link on this sad post.

Since that funeral was in a Catholic cathedral and I am Catholic, I actually am having a mass said for Spree and am going to try to track down a way to get the card to Laura her partner.

God have mercy on us all.

Fran -
Christ have mercy, indeed.
