It is difficult to find the right words of sympathy. The loss of a loved one is a pain you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy. No one is spared from the cycle of life. But one prays that death strikes only when one is ready, that it be gentle, pain-free and that one crosses into the light with serenity and dignity.

A friend of actress and comedienne Gracie Allen once sent a small, live alligator to her as a gag. Not knowing what to do with it, Gracie put it in the bathtub and then left for an appointment. When she returned home, she found a note from her maid. "Dear Miss Allen: Sorry, but I have quit. I don’t work in houses where there is an alligator. I would have told you this when I started, but I never thought it would come up."
