To: null and void

I went to the funeral with my daughter, and it was attended by about 200 friends and family.

Harvesting his organs was -- you might say -- his last good deed. Even one speaker mentioned that's what Nate Horton would have wanted -- He didn't need them anymore.

My daughter and I looked among headstones for a while afterwards, found one set from 1918 where a family lost 5 children in 6 days, ranging in age from 3 to 10. Some real heartbreakers out there among the stones.

Mostly I wanted my daughter to see a funeral of someone she knew who was young, help her stay sober.

1918? Influenza.
