Condolences:

This happened to me this year, only I wasn't given 15 miteuns to look it over, and it was a major musical work I had never seen before that I was supposed to teach to someone pretending to be a first year undergrad. I turned this job down. I felt that giving me such an unreasonable test in the interview which I think I actually did fairly well with did not bode well for the tenure process.

I am sorry to read of your loss. Many have lost loved ones and want to see them again. The Bible actually says what will be death's unavoidable eventuality at Revelation 21:4, which says, "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Death will be gone forever. May this be of encouragement to the family of Delores Dellecese.

Dolores and Bob were second parents to me growing up and my fondest childhood memories were spent in their home. Dolores taught me, by her example, how to be a loving mother and wife. She made life better for everyone who was blessed to know her. I will never forget her and my heart, prayers, and love go out to Bob, Diane, David, and the entire family.
