These are great!

Brian Cornwell - 1976-2008

a friend and former co-worker passed on after a long bout with cancer three week ago (at the tender age of 32).  He knew he was going to die well ahead of time and one of his wishes was not to have a funeral.   Instead, he wanted to get his friends together to get drunk in his honor.  Tonight his family and friends are gathering at an Irish pub in San Francisco to celebrate his life. Even though I could not make it to SF tonight to join, I'm raising a glass to remember you tonight my friend. Until next time....

The fear of death follows from the fear of life.
A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.
