Richard V. Burton: Laughter and tears

I have enjoyed A.C. Snow’s columns for many years now and laughed heartily with his insight on daily life.

After reading his Feb. 21 column “When love is the last emotion to leave,” I realized the tears came as freely as the laughter. What a heartfelt story about his sister-in-law and a familiar view on this tragic intrusion in many people’s families and lives.

He is a joy to read each Sunday!
