See the numbers is powerful, David. Thinking about each one individually is overwhelming. Remembering is definitely the key. Thank you, David. Cher xo

It’s the numbers that caught me cold too Cher. A life, a family, a story behind each. What a sacrifice.

I meant, “seeing” (sorry about that). Yes, that’s for sure, David.
