Many Egyptians believed that when a man dies, he will be asked two questions by Anubis.

The first, "Did you bring joy?" Without a doubt we can say that John did, and has accomplished one of the most important goals of life. He has brought children into the world, he has made others laughs, and come together. Though not with you physically, his actions shall resonate through the lives and souls of those he touched, never to be forgotten.

The second, "Did you find joy?" Given the situation, I think the answer is yes. Joy and sorrow are fleeting things, they are what makes life beautiful, but both come and go. Darkness can overcomes us, sometimes the most optimistic. To fall so far, means that he has lived so high. The choice was made, but we can reflect upon his life and know that he was happy, and that is what is most important.

I do apologize to the family and friends of John, I do not mean to sound impertinent, even though I know I do. Knowing him for a short time, the simple fact that he tolerated me meant he was a saint in his own right.
