Cousin Shirley

My cousin Shirley had her funeral last sunday. Amongst her chief mourners were five caregivers who worked around the clock looking after her. I read that when Queen Elizabeth, the British Monarch, was hospitalized she had only three caregivers.


Cousin Shirley was obscenely rich .

Which reminds me of an old Jewish Proverb.

If the rich could hire the poor to die for them, the poor would make a very nice living.
