Speaking only for myself, I tried to stay in "performance" mode a little bit during the actual service.
You guys had a riot? On account of me? A real riot?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

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.
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.

Because books.
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?"

Of course we will have a virtual wake!
And today I'm thinking "I'll Fly Away."

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I had considered going to the concert last night, but didn't buy tickets since it was so close to post-surgery and I was afraid I'd fall asleep with my pain meds. Anyway, the selfish part of me is glad I didn't go. Even so, I keep picturing my friend and the chaos that must have happened. Much of the audience is made up of senior citizens and I'm kinda worried about some of their hearts. I just want to wrap Lisa up and make it better, but it is never that easy.

I have just decided on Bob Marley's Rastaman chant, pretty much because of the repeated lyric:
One bright morning when my work is over,
I will fly away home.
That'll do, pig, that'll do.
Since I didn't save the world a lot.
