All these people went to the spirit world last Summer. I knew them all very well and miss them.
Hope you don't mind me making mention of these not so famous people along with the rest of the not-so-notorious:-)
How very thoughtful of you to honor the memories of those you lost this way. I think it's a great idea and don't mind one bit.
