22. I'm not surprised, Rhiannon; I was a little afraid to post it.

I know it's a dark subject, and I thought that people might not want to read such intimate details about human ashes. But I posted this here at DU and on Facebook (many of my Facebook friends knew George), and the responses have all been positive and affirming.

Thank you for your kind words.
