TheBanyanTree: Can You Hear Me Anymore

[Russ Doden]

This is so moving.  I am sitting here with tears in my eyes - tears of
remembrance, tears of gratitude for loved friends.  I will keep this Nancy,
and credit will be kept with it, and when I need to remember the good
things when a loved one is gone, I will be able to read this and remember
the good memories.  It is beautiful.
