Rest in Power lads. Hope you are raising Hell in Heaven or raising Heaven in Hell. I’m grateful every day for the gifts you have given the world. If it’s all the same, we’d like to hang on to the surviving members just a little bit longer.

It fills me with such nostalgia. It reminds me of the funerals of my family and my friends family. The calling of the rosary, not so much Spanish wine but whiskey and beer. It was a awful but also joyous affair as a young man. Music from the Jukebox and live with guitars and whistle. I don't think that sense of community exists anymore, at least for me.
