Little John, I will miss you. I will miss your laugh, I will miss your hugs, I will miss our conversations. I will miss arguing about kilts, and you shaking your head as I forget everything you ever told me about archery. I will miss taking Jamsie to concerts with you and Toni, and reminiscing about events long gone. I will miss you, my friend. Epitaph on my own Friend An honest man here lies at rest, As e’er God with His image blest: The friend of man, the friend of truth; The friend of age, and guide of youth: Few hearts like his, with virtue warm’d, Few heads with knowledge so inform’d: If there’s another world, he lives in bliss; If there is none, he made the best of this. - Robert Burns

Hail the Traveler! We commit you back from where you came— to the arms of your ancestors. May there be peace where there was anger. May there be healing where there was hurt. Go quickly to the place that your old ones called home. For those who grieve for your passing, let there be healing. For those who grieve for who you were, let there be healing. For those who grieve for what you could have been, let there be healing. Hail the Traveler. We celebrate your journey. ~ by Quetta Garrison-Madsen
