AA New 400' Spirit of Giving IMAGINE Capsule Comments with Ernie Miatello Stopping smoking? Good for you! Try cutting down on your coffee intake, too. Smokers metabolize caf- feine more quickly than non-smokers. So within days of kicking the habit, two cups of coffee will feel like five. A switch to 'decaf' is in order. A group of genetic researchers in North Carolina have found that some people carry a gene for a protein called A -IV -2 that allows them to eat all the eggs they want without raising their cholesterol. When screening for this gene is perfected, it will help doctors determine who is at risk of high cholesterol and who isn't. How many hours of sleep do you get per night? According to a 1993 study, those sleeping less than 6 hours per night had a 70% higher mor- tality rate compared to those sleeping 7 or 8 hours per night. Speaking of sleeping, a new treatment for snorers comes out of France. It involves laser surgery to trim the uvula, that little flap of tissue that hangs in the back of the throat. Making the uvula smaller seems to help reduce the snoring.

A social gesture that means a lot to bereaved people is the letter of condolence. Such a letter is usually sent within the first week follow- ing a death. Letters of condolence need not be long; in fact, a bereaved person often does not want to read through a long letter. What is most im- portant is that the letter express deepest sympathy, while at the same time recaNing some aspect of the deceased person's fife. A tennis partner of the person who died, for example, may write how much they enjoyed the sport together. As funeral directors, we have experience in counselling people who wish to extend these expressions of sympathy.
