      Speaking of creepy titles, I actually get paid to touch people to death.

        Sincerely, thank you for doing that job!

        As I’m sure you know, any kind of comfort and human connection is the best thing anyone can give people in that last time.

        You’re a bonafide everyday hero as far as I’m concerned!
