Pall bearers wanted

When I was in Catholic grammar school, one of the many lists we memorized in religion class was that of the corporal works of mercy. I don't remember them all, but the last two were "to visit the sick" and "to bury the dead."

I couldn't help but think of that list when I saw this notice from the owner of the now destroyed Great Northwest Bookstore, which burned a couple of weekends ago.
