Re: Sad news Herb Benedict's Passing

Goodby but not forgotton:
    Thank you for passing on this sad news. I am reminded that "living is
part of dying", those words helped me with my recent loss. It will be my
priviledge to remember both of the Benedicts each time I see one of their
hosta creations.
