Enough Already

Today's Wall Street Journal. Suitable for framing? 



According to statistics, 151,600 people die each day. 
That comes out to 6,316 deaths per hour. 
Got it?
So enough already with the 1 person who was hit by a car when a crazy person drove into a crowd of people on the street.
She was not a saint.
She was a regular person.
You wanna talk about people who died?
Let's talk about my friend Noreen Welle who I miss every day. 
She died of Multiple Myeloma in 2006 at the age of 57.  
She was a loving wife and mother of two young girls.
I knew her for 20 years and I have no idea what her favorite color was.
News of her death was not on the front page of every newspaper.
It should have been.
