Grazie!

To all those who offered their prayers and sympathies in the time of our family's loss, I am gratefully thankful!

To all those who have left messages and comments of inspiration, hope and concern, thank you very much!

The world recedes; it disappears;
Heav'n opens on my eyes; my ears
With sounds seraphic ring:
Lend, lend your wings! I mount! I fly!
O Grave! where is thy Victory?
O Death! where is thy Sting?

(excerpt from The Dying Christian to His Soul by Alexander Pope)
