Isn't it sad that so often it takes facing death to appreciate life and each other fully?

Esther Earl

Toil and risk are the price of glory, but it is a lovely thing to live with courage and die leaving an everlasting fame.

Alexander the Great

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.

I Thessalonians 4:13

Get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.
