At the end
I was struck by the sweetness of this in the Victoria Times Colonist (Deaths and Funerals):
“Life provides a puzzle for us when we outlive our friends, when we forget our memories, and when the new technologies pass us by, but we are ever loved when we remember our manners and treat others with love and respect.”
It is in quotation marks, but I think it is original.
