                                Funeral rites

Spring, [1]  Kelly, [2]  Mark, [3]  JeffK, ChrisS, J (a friend of Mark's) and
I went to the funeral of our friend A who died this week [4].

The service was held at a small church almost an hour away and we arrived
just in time.  There was a sizable crowd of maybe 75 people for the hour long
memorial to A. Afterwards, we were invited to a reception at a family
member's house a few miles away from the church.

There we hung around for an hour or so, talking with family and friends about
the fond memories we had of A and his love of computers, cars (especially
BMWs and his unfortunately tendancy to crash them) and electronics and how
sad it was that he ended his life so early. We're all going to miss A—it'll
be too quiet without him.
