The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

A Personal Note

As many people who read this blog know, my mother has been very ill for some time. I don't have much to say about that, but having mentioned how sick she was it seems strange to let the topic drift off inconclusively.

My mother has passed away. We had her funeral a week ago. I may have more to say about that later, but right now I do not.

If you are a praying type, spare a few thoughts for my dad, who was married to her for more than 47 years, and who has suffered the heaviest loss of all. Thank you.

Much love from our community, Doc.  We are all your friends here and we all wish you and yours the very best. These can be lonely times but if it helps to know that a bunch of strangers care, well... we do!


Tomorrow, tomor...
Cut down in whichever stage
Of life burns the same

Perhaps to dream is
The human capacity
For grief that heals us

Pain falls drop by drop...
It matters not that others
Felt thus. Yet it does.

Best regards, pp


There are no words ... my heart is with you.


Oh, Doc, that is so hard to take.  My heart goes out to you, your family, and especially your dad.


I'm so sorry, Doc. Our thoughts go out to you and to your family.


I did see the pictures on Facebook, and I am sorry for your loss, and that of your father.


My condolences on your loss.   Sending prayers and positive thoughts.

 


Your family is in my prayers 


My condolences, Doc.


My condolences as well, Doc, to all affected by the loss of your mother.


I'm very sorry to read this Dr. Cleveland.  My thoughts are with your dad and you.


Noting the type of person you are, your mother must have been a remarkable woman.  Thinking of you during this difficult time.  Jan Maugans


Thank you all very much. I appreciate your kind words.
