Those that have left use don't want you to be sad they died. While an untimely death is something to be mourned,don't dwell on their dying, dwell on their life. We all have to die some day, and it's partially fear of this that makes us feel so bad when someone we care about dies. But do them and their memory honor by celebrating the life that was lived and is now returned, and resolving to take their memory and influence forward in living your own lives.

Hopefully these words provide some confort to those who have lost someone, including friends and family of Athus, whom I unfortunately did not get to chance to meet in this life.
