I was touched by a post in the In Memoriam section of the New York Times this week.  I cannot comment on it.  It speaks powerfully for itself and the grieving father who wrote it.  Here it is:

"Transcending, ever flowing, my love is with its essence...you.

Your endless kindness and compassion still inspiring, your love for others bigger than your own, reminds me of: "Love thy neighbor as Thyself" and I realized you went beyond that.

The purity and rightfulness of your soul inerasable by the memory of time are sources of strength and infinite gratitude.

I miss your love, your sense of humor, your smile, your beauty, all of you...my vulnerable boy, my son, my child, my Isaac.

Will all my love, Dad."
