NOTE TO MY SISTER
Micki lost her husband last Monday, Sept. 12, 2005

Sept. 20, 2005
Dear Micki,
please bear with me in this note to you.
Simon Wiesenthal died to day. He was 96 years old. His life was spent in the pursuit of justice. He hunted the Nazis who fled Germany after WWII. The ones who hid themselves because they were afraid to face the world for the terrible crimes they committed. Mr. Wiesenthal hunted the perpetrators of the Holocaust. This was his purpose, his mission. He was important and a very significant person.
You are my sister and very dear to me. Tyler was the dearest person to you and also dear to me because of the care and love he showed you. As important to the world as Mr. Wiesenthal was, as significant a person he was - Tyler is no less important to me. Tyler was a significant person.
Most of us live with a faint thought in the back of our mind "why am I here." Many of us want to be remembered for something - or by someone. I figure most people are not going to be remembered by millions. Most of us will be remembered by those we cared for. And that is the only important thing.
Tyler was dear, important and significant and I wish you still had his comfort. I can't feel how you do. Your loss is total and all than more sorrowful for me. I would not want any of my dear ones to feel such total loss. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
