Book Cover & Preview Text
“This is not a treatise on death. Not a theological study of death and love. It's not a manual on how to grieve or deal with the death of a loved one, especially a spouse. It is simply a personal reflection on my life with and love of and for Shirley Louise Jackson Richie. It is my expression of gratitude for the beauty she brought into my life and into the lives of others touched by her presence, and a tribute to the courage and grace with which she faced the trying end of her beautiful life.”
