Shots In The Dark

  Words Fail
My cousin Mary lost her daughter, 16-year-old Madeleine, on Sunday morning. I knew her as a young girl, running around her grandparents' home in a holiday dress. She was beautiful in all the ways that matter.

If you have a moment, please read about her. What is written in the newspaper is, of course, insufficient, as anything that I could write would be. Still, I know that Madeleine's family would appreciate it. In between those lines there was a life that can now only be remembered.

They do indeed fail, quite often, -- the words, that is. My condolences, Richard.
