My favorite of the messages the Poe fan left was...."..The torch will be passed on......."
Perhaps the 'torch' is a poetic license to life!

I saw that and was thinking about it also. I have to assume the person is unable to get out - in hospital or dead.
If I lived there, this would inspire me to take on this tradition.

 I'd rather have a visit, note or pretty picture than an "I'll say a prayer" or a "god bless you." Doesn't make me feel better, no meaning to me for sure. Can't stop you from praying and blessing me, and if that makes you feel better feel free.  But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me. And let's all respect each other's feelings. With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
