Holy crap, Suzi. That's awful.
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh my god, Suzi, that would be so terrible! For everyone else, I mean.
I always just hope it's not weird that I have a running list of possible songs to be played at my service. Which is dumb because I won't be there to hear them.
We were discussing this after the service. Less weird for my parents to be planning, I guess, but I have my list, too!

It made me think, too, Jesse -- my parents' choir has been together, more or less, for many years now, too, and the one loss they dealt with was really hard. D. was everybody's friend, and he died very suddenly and while he was abroad, so the whole thing was a nightmare. I wasn't here for that service, but I can't even imagine how the choir got through it.

Speaking only for myself, I tried to stay in "performance" mode a little bit during the actual service.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wow, I'm stunned, many degrees away. The wife...I cannot even imagine...at least she was there? And he was right in the middle of stuff? God, that's weak. I don't even know.

My mother has informed us that if "Nearer My God" is played, she will haunt us. I feel it's safer to assume she can hear them.

My mother is 100% against Amazing Grace. She kept saying this to other people, when I finally pointed out that I am really the person who needs to know.

I'm pretty firm on "Down to the River to Pray," and possibly "Amazing Grace," but not much else.

That's such a sad, story. Terrible for the wife.
I have already decided I don't want any memorial.

One reason my body goes to science is to avoid memorial services. Y'all are free to have a virtual wake.
If I had to pick music, it would be "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?"
