For Dick Cheney · 19d ago
My mom called me at 6am my time to tell me, she still can't believe he made it to 84 after everything with his heart. Growing up in Oklahoma we watched the Gulf War coverage with him on the screen every night, my dad called him the most serious man in Washington. Strange to hear that kind of news from so far away.
For Chaudhary Muhammad Ashraf · 29d ago
90 years old. that's a full life.
For Marilyn Mitro Mayor · 19 Sept 2026
My mom called me about this one, she does that with the Houston Chronicle obituaries sometimes. 87 years old and still had a home out in the Texas Hill Country with her husband. Something about that made me tear up on a random Tuesday, thousands of miles from home.
For Wendell Berry · 31 Aug 2026
I have read Wendell's books more times than I can count. Each time they gave me something new.

Rest well, Bonnie. The work is done, and it was good.
For Tay Keith · 30 Jun 2026
I met Tay once, very briefly, and they were kind to a nervous stranger. That's what I'll remember.

Rest in peace
My grandmother loved Winston. When she died we played their work at the funeral. Now they're both gone. Strange how connected it all is.
For Fred Rogers · 23 Jun 2025
Some people leave a mark on the world that doesn't fade. Fred was one of them.

I keep coming back to this page. It helps to know so many others feel the same.

Gratitude
Andy Warhol will be remembered long after the rest of us are forgotten. That's what greatness looks like.
For Louis Armstrong · 9 Apr 2025
Lighting a candle from India. Louis meant a great deal to a lot of us here.
