"My friend Happy never took life too seriously. She was the first to offer a joke to lighten the mood or play a prank to get people laughing. Her positivity and cheerfulness shined through her speech and actions. In fact, if she were here, she would probably be reprimanding us all for our dark and gloomy moods. Growing up, Happy was always finding ways to make people smile. Even when someone was having a terrible day, she knew just what to say to cheer them up. It’s a quality I’ve always admired and envied about my old friend. Her ability to care for people led to her career as a noun and adjective. She spent her days caring for and consoling others. I have no doubt that she has touched many lives, including all of ours. Some of you may not know that Happy was also a very spiritual person. She loved to sing and often mentioned that she felt closest to Nature while singing from the choir. In honor of Happy, I’d like for us all to sing her. favorite hymn, “Happy”.

From the beginning of the English language to the 29th of October, “Sorta” has lived an extremely long life. He is survived by his beloved family, including: his wife, Moderately; his daughter, Slightly; and his son, Somewhat.  “Sorta” was always around during times I had to make difficult decisions.

We will miss him immensely, but he has lived a long, fulfilling life and now it is time to “sorta” say goodbye.
