Hi Lorraine, I am indeed the Chris who is the Moderator of the Mind's Eye. I am also one of the 'Owners' of the group, but the true Founder of the group is Craig Atkinson.
:^D I did say I read all the posts, far more than I actually post myself, but that's a necessary function as a moderator. Molly is a regular and valued contributor, and I'm glad you've found her to be a like mind. You're welcome to participate, and you'll find that our worldviews and opinions are as diverse as people are. I'm still a bit confused about the original message, though. Which Chris were you looking for, who lost a son?
