>             On March 7, 2012 Lawrence Anthony died.
>             He is remembered and missed by his wife, 2 sons, 2
>             grandsons, and
>             numerous elephants.
>             Two days after his passing, the wild elephants showed up
>             at his home
>             led by two large matriarchs. Separate wild herds arrived
>             in droves
>             to say goodbye to their beloved 'man-friend'.
>             A total of 31 elephants had patiently walked over 12 miles
>             to get to his South African House.

>             Witnessing this spectacle, humans were obviously in awe
>             not only
>             because of the supreme intelligence and precise timing
>             that these
>             elephants sensed about Lawrence's passing, but also
>             because of
>             the profound memory and emotion the beloved animals evoked
>             in such an organized way; walking slowly, for days,
>             making their way in a solemn one-by-one queue from their
>             habitat
>             to his house.
>              Lawrence's wife, Francoise, was especially touched,
>             knowing that the elephants had not been to his house prior
>             to that day for well over 3 years!
>             But yet they knew where they were going. The elephants
>             obviously
>             wanted to pay their deep respects, honoring their friend
>             who'd saved their lives - so much respect that
>             they stayed for 2 days and 2 nights without eating anything.
>
>             Then one morning, they left, making their long journey
>             back home.

>             SOMETHING IN THE UNIVERSE IS GREATER
>             AND DEEPER THAN HUMAN INTELLIGENCE.
