Afterwards

My mother was a deeply religious person, and she would receive many mailings from organizations.  Usually, she ignored them -- not from an intellectual bias, but because the one thing that they had in common was that they would ask for money repeatedly, and she didn't have that much.  She thought well of them, but after decades, she realized that they would just keep asking.  And they do.

My mother died three years ago.  She just received a note from an organization thanking her for her support 'this past year'.
