    Speaking of not forgetting -- everyone who's posted a nice
    remembrance -- get out your calendar now, please. Make a note for a
    month from now -- and do something appropriate a month from now -- if
    you knew him personally, send his family flowers, or take dinner --
    if you didn't -- do something else, send a card or a note. Perhaps
    someone on the list can be the receiver of all the cards? 

    When someone dies, everyone is all moved at first, and jumps in to
    action.  Then a month later (or sooner) everyone has forgotten the
    family.  All the flowers are dead and gone -- just like the family
    member.  And people feel that it's been "long enough" that they
    don't have to mention "it" anymore. 

    Please try to be one of the special people who remember, who take
    the extra step, the extra time. Don't worry about saying something
    stupid, or something wrong. Just say something, acknowledge the
    loss, and if it's a friend, ask them questions. Give them an opening
    to talk. 

    Here are some grief resources below. American Hospice Foundation
    sells some lovely cards that are a refreshing change from the usual.

    Please, make that calendar note now.
