Dear FRONTLINE,

Thank you for giving me closure. After my own loss I could not imagine what my loved one went through. Now I have a positive image that he was well taken care of during his departure from our lives. Undertakers are good people that have all my respect and honor. I learned that they do/did the best job possible with both the living and the dead. I still miss my partner/husband/friend/etc. and wish that he was here but he was treated with respect and love and is in a better place. Thank you.

Dear FRONTLINE,

Thank you for a profoundly moving program. I am grateful for having witnessed these families at such a private time, and especially to the Verrino family -- the clarity of their expression and the fierceness of their love exemplify grace.
