Michael will not be able to destroy her memory as easily as her body. Her legacy will grow beyond any reach she ever would have imagined.
This is our job. We must not let her die in vain. She dies for all of us. That is why we have all been suffering with her this week. At least I know I have. I'm not comparing my suffering to hers but I've been really upset about this.
BTW I want to thank everyone on these threads, even the ones who think the tube should stay out. I've been able to work through my feelings here in ways that I never could with my friends and colleagues.
