Seagoon,
Though we may have differing views on certain things.
Just because I may not always agree with you does not mean I do not feel for you.
I have always had a great deal of respect for you.
I can recognise and respect Your views and feelings.
Thus I recognise and respect the grief you now feel.
And for that greif I would like to offer my most profound and sincere condolences to your wife and yourself for your loss.
Drediock
