HELLO, MY GOODNES, ITS AMAZING HOW I STUMBLED ONTO YOUR PHOTO.

FIRST OF ALL I AM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS EVEN IF IT WAS LONG AGO. AND THAT CORONER, I BELIEVE, PROBABLY FEELS PRETTY BADLY FOR SAYING WHAT HE DID. IT WAS CALLOUS AND INSENSITIVE
BUT PERHAPS MEN BACK IN THOSE DAYS REALLY FELT IT THEIR JOB TO HELP KEEP A
"STIFF UPPER LIP", AS THEY SAY.

I IMAGINE BEING CORONER OVER THE YEARS MOST LIKELY MADE HIM GROW MORE AND MORE INSENSITIVE AND DISTANT TO FOLKS AS A WAY FOR( HIM) TO HOLD (HIMSELF) TOGETHER BETTER, THOUGH, NOT SO GOOD FOR THE COMMUNITY. I SUPPOSE BACK THEN WE DIDN'T HAVE ALL THE ANTIDEPRESSANTS, PAIN MEDS, PSYCHIATRIC ACCESS, ETC. THAT WE HAVE TODAY.
FOLKS COPED THE BEST THEY COULD AND IN THE ONLY WAY THEY KNEW HOW.

I HOPE THOSE NEGATIVELY AFFECTED CAN ONE DAY BRING THEMSELVES TO FORGIVE THE MAN. HE PROBABLY BEAT HIMSELF UP ABOUT IT IN PRIVATE ONCE HE HEARD HOW OTHERS FELT ABOUT HIS COMMENT. NEVERTHELESS IT WAS STILL AN ABRAISIVE THING TO SAY AND TO HEAR. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU AND ALL OF YOUR LOVED ONE'S HERE AND IN THE HEREAFTER,MY DEAR.
