I imagine it is this optimism that sustained him—the belief that trivialization can be countered by words that matter. To make that happen in a medium pressed into the service of the trivial was genius.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Memorials tend to unite kindred spirits, reminding us that we are not alone in our grief, love, misery and hope.

Very nice memorial.

Very nice memorial.
