I have mostly been at a loss for words with the recent passing of my father, so I am borrowing a few words from Heny Van Duke with a few changes made from my brother... . I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and the sky come to mingle with other. Then someone at my side says: "There, he is gone" "Gone where?" Gone from my sight. That is all. He is just as large in mast and hull and spar as he was when he left my side and he is just as able to bear the load of living freight to his destined port. His dimished size is in me, not in him. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: "There, he is gone!" There are other eyes watching him coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout: "Here he comes!" And that is dying... . My father was loved by friends and family.
