As one who is basically a non believer, I struggle on some of these sad occasions, to find the appropriate words that express my condolences, and grief, that seem right and fitting for the bereaved, and true to myself. I ponder each and every word. They do not come easily. But the spirit moves me sometimes to try, as best I can. The spirit moved me here, because Texasflower, and her untimely death, the loss of her, affected my heart.

Very well said, for a "basic" non-believer.

That's because your mama raised you right. At least here in the civilized world, I don't think you'll ever find religious tolerance put in practice better than on the occasion of someone's death.

Thanks for that, I've never been able to put it into words.
