Thank you for posting the link to how to write a condolence note. It was a helpful reminder to reach out to a friend who lost a child last year and needed to be reminded that their family were still in my thoughts. Pain like that lingers long after the flowers have been tossed out.
Kelly J, that is a sweet thing to do, and it will mean the world.
An exemplary bunch of links today, I didn't get a damn thing done. ;o)
Thank you, Bruce!
