Dead Men are Heavier


         When Raymond Chandler's wife Cissy's remains were re-laid to rest alongside the great author in 2011 at his Mount Hope, San Diego grave one of the attendees was a lady whose mother had been personal  secretary to him for a number of years. At his own burial in 1959 there were only 17 people present and few were close. Chandler left a number of his possessions to Sybil Davis and her mother Jean Fracasse including his monogrammed silver cigarette case and his Ostrich skin wallet.
