Kayla Lockhart Edwards, March 21, 1946 – May 21, 2006

And, when she shall die,
Take her and cut her out in little stars,
And she will make the face of Heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

Romeo and Juliet, III.ii

Tears are sometimes an inappropriate response to death. When a life has been lived completely honestly, completely successfully, or just completely, the correct response to death’s perfect punctuation mark is a smile.

Kayla, Requiescat in pace
