Thanks for posting all this, Wendy, and triggering this thread. And thank you for shouldering the task of showing those folks that Lori *mattered*. I've said for years that we (our culture) is completely screwed up when it comes to the whole entire issue of death, and you really put it out there. Thank you.

Besides, today, i was hurting for Lori a little extra, and this thread helped me that way. *smile* Love you, Wendy. So glad we're on the same team.
