It had been a somber morning. Only about a dozen people attended the memorial, but that wasn't all that surprising. The man in the casket hadn't been a socially active person and the few people who knew him...didn't know him very well. The meager number of coffee cups sitting on the sparse refreshments table might have seemed a little pitiful to some but not to him. He had never been a man that needed attention or accolades in life and in death, even less. This was the way he'd wanted to go. Peace in life and peace in death.
