Divided into four sections, Celebrating Lifefeatures 120 entries, including: * Saying Goodbye: "The gods conceal from men the happiness of death, that they may endure life." --Lucan * Healing: "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal." --Albert Pike * "When We Meet Again... : "Is death the last sleep? No, it is the last--and final--awakening." --Sir Walter Scott * "Reflecting and Rituals: "Death is the most beautiful adventure in life." --Charles Frohman
