Re: On A More Personal Note...

<t>Hi Neil,<br/> I feel for you ... my sympathies !<br/> <br/> How do we react when this time is near ? <br/> For my own mom, I did finger-picking during the last hours at her bedside.<br/> <br/> What came out was Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane" ... subdued.<br/> I've been reassured that the sense o...
