UnlikeComment Tag Photo Melissa Ludtke Here are a few of my friend Jane Gross's poignant words from her New York Times essay about those we've loved and lost who stay with us — guiding us — in all their different ways: "To chase my ghosts away, to silence their voices — and I’m not sure I could — would be in effect a second death. I don’t want them gone," she writes.

I lost my uncle Dick Dober this week, but I am determined not to lose his voice. That will be with me whenever a few encouraging words delivered with the special flare of his smile will be there pushing me up and over whatever humps I encounter. Here's a photo of Dick and his wife Lee, and here's a link to Jane's essay. http://nyti.ms/1f10wn0

Thanks, Jane. _______________________________________________ Neighbors mailing list Neighbors@buenavistasocialclub.org http://mailman.actwin.com/mailman/listinfo/neighbors
