On another note, and no reference to this case, but I'm sure it applies. As a person who works with the elderly, sick and shut-in citizens and residents, I'll be frank. Its so amazing how we show more love when a person dies and when they are alive nobody visits them or show them love and concern. Mamy times a little visit to our seniors would do alot to enhance their lives because they know someone loves them. More tributes when they dead from people who never even use to pick up the phone and say hello for years. Sad thing is, it seem natural. If all the people who are in front seats of these funeral could have been found visiting the sick, it would be ok. BVI people know how to put on a good show
