Because they seem unethical, cold and selfish. Diana left the world an infinitely rewarding message of generosity and kindness. Akikazu Nagatomi, Kunitachi City, Japan...
...Wales, the people I knew were not "snuffling into their tissues."

Although a princess, she was a humanitarian unequaled in the 20th century who crossed the boundaries of class and race. When I saw her with Mother Teresa, I was struck by the thought that, no matter what walk of life one comes from, sisterly love can be a universal attribute toward which we should all strive. Despite human frailties, she made the world a better place for all. Sonja Rencken , ABCOUDE, THE NETHERLANDS...
