As we get older,,, and we all may,,,, you presence will be required at the demise of present or former acquaintences. I myself am very sentimental and will tear up at the least sorrowful thing and have a very hard time expressing my sentiments to the survivors. Things are a bit easier for a casual acquaintence, but the closer ones are very tough. Lately I have tried telling a story of a happier time that the deceased and I have shared that the family is not aware of. This always elicits a smile and a sincere "Thank You", that makes the encounter easier for all involved. What do you do ?
