You should have been to the memorial I did the eulogy for. I had them laughing in the aisles.
I understand, but no one was glad that they were gone. We never feel joy at someone's passing, even though we say we believe they are in a better place. If that were true, then we would be praying for God to take us as soon as possible.
We should never confuse our hopes with our certitude. People who are certain they are better off are never sad. We throw promotion parties but we don't call them funerals. There is a wee bit of a difference there.
