Newsday readers may be wise to glance through some of the In Memoriam tributes that run alongside the Obituary page. They never fail to evoke my tears.
I see so many expressions of deep, continued love and memories of relatives and friends, many going back decades. The moving words tug at one’s heartstrings, representing the best of humanity.
