I've only been to a few memorial services in my time and to even fewer receptions afterwards. I've never heard as many people get up and speak about someone before. And never with as much humor, either. The memorial service was truly touching... and the setting was beautiful.
I don't ever want to be old and infirm; but the only way around it is to die young. The most tragic thing about Leslie's accident is the void that is left behind for you and Freebird and his friends; and of course the years of new experiences he will now miss. The most consoling thing about it, though, is that he was at a happy time in his life; and this happened with no sense of foreboding or dread. Way better than a slow, sad death.
