"...it's as if God said, "Let me show you what happens when someone truly worthy of the recognition passes on." I don't think it was coincidence.

I had the same feeling at the time; thanks for putting it into words.

Who can forget the image of Mother Theresa being carried aloft through the streets of Calcutta in a simple, yet beautiful, Indian style funeral procession? Juxtapose that with the ululating hysteria taking place in Britain and the Princess Di thing looks like an absurdity (replete with Elton John rewriting a song he wrote for Marilyn Monroe)!

When Mother Teresa died, I remember reading an inventory of her posessions. There was a plain robe, a pair of sandles, a rosary, and two or three other cheap personal belongings.

It was so unreal. I felt like the world had turned upside down. The images and emotions displayed seemed so disconnected.
