At a time like this words seem so pointless...especially from cyber stranger/friends...

I offer the sentiment seen on an ancient New England headstone,
that I thought was very beautiful:

'Tis just a body, just a shell
the friend you loved no longer there.
Shed not for him the bitter tear
Nor fill thy heart with vain regret
'Tis but the empty box that lies here
The jewel that filled it sparkles yet

Love is deathless.

Friendship can span the ether.

May peace and healing come to you, brother.
