For Alberto Masotti · 2d ago

I didn't know the name until my daughter brought a set back from Rome in the nineties and told me what it cost. Ninety years old. That kind of craftsmanship doesn't get made twice.

For Samantha Humphrey · 6d ago

Fourteen years old. I had the news on while my grandson was doing his homework and I just stopped and stared at the screen. Jeff and Jaclyn, I'm so sorry, I hope you find some peace.

For Eddie Lyle · 27d ago

Just read this. My son works with a group that used to bring Open Doors newsletters to our church, and I remember one report Eddie wrote about a widow in Nigeria that had our whole prayer group in tears. 73 is no age. Praying for Christine and Adam tonight.

For Frank Busch · 27d ago

My nephew swims and he sent me this quote of his: show up, pay attention, tell the truth, and give your team the effort it deserves. Just sat with that a minute.

For Yosi Silman · 27d ago

I first read his name in a book about the 1982 Lebanon War, the Kakash battalion parts, years after my dad had talked about that war at the dinner table like it was still happening somewhere far off. Sixty six. Strange how a name from a footnote stays with you.

For Chung Ho-yong · 29d ago

Only learned his name last year, from a documentary on the Fifth Republic I found while researching something else entirely. Kept it on in the background and ended up rewinding twice. He was the last of that core five still alive, 94 when he died in Suwon. Strange to feel something for history you came to so late, from so far away.

For Emily McNamara · 17 Sept 2026

My sister rang me at six this morning, my time, just to tell me before I saw it online. Forty two. I don't know hockey and I never met the woman but that age sat in my chest all day like a stone.

For Robert Duvall · 29 Jun 2026

My mother watched everything he made. When I was a girl she'd say, 'That's the real thing, watch how he listens.' I think that's what made me want to act. She's going to be heartbroken.

For John Lewis · 10 Aug 2025

My mother kept his picture on the mantel next to MLK. She said John Lewis never stopped fighting, not for one day. He showed us what a life of purpose looks like. I'm going to plant something beautiful in the garden in his memory.

To Juana Lopez’s tribute on Nobue Matsubara’s page · 14 Sept 2026

Yes. She understood what she was carrying.
