Not meaning to obfuscate your good point but, when was that? Had not the mods/Jim stepped in every time someone got seriously ill or died threads like this were often nothing but venom.
The only time I remember someone dying and the mods just letting the thread go it's natural course was when Ted Kennedy died. But here's an effort (granted half hearted) I'll make:
Best wishes for Shalala's speedy recovery!
I’d like to say that should God be merciful and grant physical recovery to Shalala, that repentance also be granted to her. When people fight against God, they do not escape chastisement, remember.
