I have followed her life from the time that she was first introduced to the public, and I hope to leave a lasting testimony to the love for ALL of humanity that she displayed, by following the example she left for us. May the God of ALL nations and peoples grant us the peace and comfort we so desperately need as we struggle to say "Goodbye" to our Diana. The actions and works of this truly noble and royal woman are her legacy. May we all continue on in her quest for world peace and an end to suffering. May we gladly embrace her causes, and learn from her. Diana, may your soul at last know the rest and peace that this world would not allow you! We love you, and we will miss you, but you will never be far from us as we keep you in our heart of hearts!

I am a U.S. citizen from Georgetown, KY; I recently visited the U.K., and very much loved the country and the people. I thus feel so much more profoundly the loss of Princess Diana, who in my mind had come to symbolize what could be good and right about British aristocracy. As I visited the palaces such as Hampton Court and Windsor on my trip, I was struck by the changes that had occurred over the years of history to Biritch Royalty, going from all-powerful, and in some cases, corrupt, absolute rulers, to the present-day figureheads. Yet, despite this fall Lady Diana had been able to singlehandedly raise the positive profile of British Royalty, not only by her beauty and her presence, but by her humanity, and her obvious care and concern for people of the world who are less fortunate than was she. It seems to me that she forced the other members of the Royal family to emerge from their respective shells, and likewise serve important public fuif for no other reason than to try to "keep up" with her leading light. As for the paparazzi who have so obviously contributed to her demise, I have nothing but utter contempt. I do not disagree with the right of the press to cover public events, but the growing and insatiable need of these jackals and wolves to interfere with each and every detail of the lives of anyone in the public spotlight has gone far beyond any right or reason. Some say that public figures must "accept this" as part of their choice of public life, but I say this is utter nonsense. Conversely, what this has done, at least in the U.S., is force many talented and intelligent people to NOT choose public service, for fear of exposing themselves and their families to this relentless pursuit. Freedom of the press does not override the freedom of any individual to have some peace and privacy in their lives. Ultimately, however, it is the reading and watching public who must force change. Only by refusing to be parties to trash journalism, by refusing to buy the publications and refusing to watch the T.V. gossip shows, will we put an end to this brand of harassment. If any meaning can be found from the tragedy we are all now dealing with, I can only hope that the return to sanity in the lives of our public figures will be the result. Otherwise, no solace can be found in the brutal and tragic snuffing out of one of the world's brightest lights, Lady Diana Spencer, Princess of Wales. Thank you for the chance to share these thoughts. Date: Mon, 01 Sep 1997 11:46:59 -0400 From: "George T.
