May she rest in peace.
I've seen numerous web pages,
graphics, and letters produced in
memory of Princess Diana. While
these are all lovely tributes, I
would like to suggest that perhaps
a better way we can honor this
wonderful lady would be to make
sure that the causes to which she
dedicated a great deal of her time
and energy are not forgotten.
"If you want to do something in
memory of or as a tribute to her,
give to the causes she supported. If you can't afford to donate money, your time is just as valuable. Her body has left this world, but the spirit of caring and giving that she embraced doesn't have to."
Here are some links to get you
started:
Pediatric AIDS Foundation:
Children with AIDS Project
National Pediatric HIV Resource
Center
Campaign to Ban Landmines
War Child Home Page
United Nations Children's Fund
Please Note: Credit for the above
dedication, as it were of Princess
Di and the links, go to the owner
of the following Web page. In
which, I whole heartedly concur.
Here is the link to that site:

Princess
Will you miss us
we will miss you, because,
you brought the enchantment
back to our embankment.
Here in America,
..here in America
We watched your romance,
we watched you dance.
We wanted to do it in the rain,
as we watched you in your pain.
The royalty would no accept you,
while we embraced you.
You were Lady Di
or the Princess of Wales.
Why..oh why did you have to die,
....did you have to die
We went to the store.
All over the place
and near the door,
we saw your face and your smile.
We saw the media too,
all this while.
We wanted to give a place.
a place..that you could rest.
Here in America,
....here in America
Here where the peace
is ingrained in the reefs,
the sand and the shore.
If you could only stay more
Freedom started here,
privacy is what is dear...
to us, deep in our heart
And our soul, a new start.
It does not matter
where you came from,
even if your from
the United Kingdom
or the struggling Ireland.
Here in America,
...here in America
You stood for causes
that are our deepest...
of our deepest...concern
let the pain burn...
away..,
Please won't you stay
...won't you stay
