He was a good man.
The preacher cried - they all cried...
Except the widow.

Ooooooh! This one is 'fab-U-lous' chile!! I could see that widow holdin' back the happiness in heart as her soul cries out freedom (or some other blissful word/phrase) :lol:

Love it Joyce!!

This was written in memory of a real life incident I personally witnessed within my family clan. The husband died, the wife did not cry...her boyfriend (who is now her husband of 23 years) was sitting next to her during the funeral.
