Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come...
"Funeral Blues" - W. H. Auden
Rest in peace, dear Cory Aquino, former President of the Republic of the Philippines. For leading the fight that toppled a dictator, restored democracy, and forged a nation ever so strongly together- we will be eternally grateful.
