I hope her family will not disapprove of my link, and that her death is not in vain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fVyGo7rZUIeamon@ewmphotographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943774658557849499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428941524547448150.post-10656698811053891292009-06-21T07:14:08.844-07:002009-06-21T07:14:08.844-07:00Many thanks Roxanne - what a wonderfully emotional...Many thanks Roxanne - what a wonderfully emotional poem. I've posted it so that it is properly appreciated. Quick question though: Should the 'shrod' read 'shroud'..? I've changed it on the assumption you dropped a letter, but please let me know if shrod is correct and I'll change it back! Thanks again.eamon@ewmphotographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13943774658557849499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-428941524547448150.post-20382339882610798102009-06-20T13:09:08.258-07:002009-06-20T13:09:08.258-07:00SILENCE, MY SISTER
