Her virtues have nothing to do with anyone here and that is as it should
be. Whatever donations I may or may not have made in her name are also
no one's business but mine. We aren't on this earth to get points from
advertising our good deeds.

I hate retards who try to get mileage from the passing of anyone with
talent. It's like they want a chunk of the greatness of the deceased by
being associated with them in even the slightest way.

If it isn't a piece of fame, then they are after money. The world is
full of the "Hey, it's too bad about XXXXXX, he was sure under
appreciated, but have you seen my book/tape/cd/pictures?"

If these pricks actually liked the dearly departed, they'd be giving the
books away at cost AND making anonymous donations instead of advertising
it all over globe.

I'm sure Hell has a special place for these leeches and hangers on.
Sadly, there's never any shortage of the wanna-bees riding the coattails
of the talented, whether alive or dead. It's a lot harder to shake the
barnacles after you're dead, though.

With your permission, this will be the last posting I make on this topic.

Good, because my original intent was certainly not to draw attention to myself,
only to tell others about the effort.

I then offered a challenge to others to try to make a difference.

I failed, and for that I feel bad.

I'm truly sorry If I offended you or others.
