I have an affectionate but long-distance perspective to offer on our departed loved one, Luke. He would call or text occasionally, to offer a cheerful greeting or update, or sometimes to ask very simply and directly for help. I was never present for the crisis times and can only imagine how devastating they were. The picture his life presented to me was of a young man whose life was upended by illness, and who tried diligently for 20 years to build a nest in a hurricane. He never gave up his search for a loving home and meaningful work, and what more does any of us ever want? God rest you, my young nephew: your illness and trouble are over now.
A young death
My young nephew, not quite 40, died suddenly this week. It was a shock and yet not completely unexpected, given the complicated state of his mental and physical health. He was struck down savagely by bipolar disease at the age of 18, a blow that was followed by some of the predictable physical catastrophes that strike people given to passing out in snowdrifts, as well as bolts from the blue like cancer.
At his memorial service this Saturday in Philadelphia, I will read (or have someone read for me) this elegy:

I’m sorry for your loss. My condolences.
May the Lord receive him.
Loving home, meaningful work. We would give all our fortunes if we were ever without them.
God has given me another chance to a save a dog, if only briefly, a small elderly creature with untreatable heartworms. It's just the thing for a week's work right now in Luke's honor. Little Lucy has a hospice-home waiting for her with a committed rescuer in Missouri. I'm going to pick her up out of the Corpus Christi shelter, where they'd otherwise have killed her tomorrow, and hold her until she can be transported on Feb. 7. I like to think that she'll join Luke soon, both in restored health. He'd always have liked to have a dog if he'd been able to create a safe home. He had one once when he briefly lived with a woman and her son.
The lame will walk in Gloryland
The blind up there will see
The deaf in Gloryland will hear
The dumb will talk to me
*Long distance hugs* A wonderful tribute and kindness, Texan.

My condolences, Tex. That's a good elegy.
I'm so sorry, Tex.
RE: "My young nephew, not quite 40, died suddenly this week"
Sorry to read this!
You mentioned he had a "complicated state of his mental and physical health" but is it possible or conceivable that, assuming he got his Covid jab, his early "died suddenly" demise was due to a toxic Covid "vaccine"? Or is that a taboo topic for you to hear about?
“If I Die, You Were Right” [his response on the alleged toxicity/lethality of CV19 "vaccines". Shortly after getting a CV19 jab he suddenly died] --- Doug Brignole, bodybuilder [https://archive.ph/1mnc8]
"8-Year-Old Covid Vaccine ‘Poster Boy’ Dies Suddenly after Cardiac Arrest" [https://archive.ph/KB2f3]
"US Army Lt. Col. Jered Little, commander of Public Health Activity (Hawaii) died suddenly on Nov.24, 2023. Got his 1st Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine on Dec.23, 2020 & was the poster boy for illegal COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine mandates in the US Military" [https://archive.ph/z4pTV]
Please, let's THINK now and start FACING reality...
What does the fact of a MUSHROOMING of over one million (often young) people who have "died suddenly" all over the globe SINCE the start of broad "vaccination" with toxic Covid jabs [https://archive.ph/8Ztz9] (deceitfully hidden by the medical mafia doctors as "sudden adult death syndrome") mean really?
What does it squarely and MOST OBVIOUSLY point to in front of everyone's "awake" nose?
What is the TRUE FINAL implication of all that, which is not mentioned here (or elsewhere typically)?
ACTIVE resistance against the criminal establishments around the world will greatly increase the sooner someone TRULY understands that the ruling cabal and their minions (in governments, the UN, the WHO, big corporations, etc), anywhere around the globe, are PSYCHOPATHS -- the evidence is rock solid --- see “The 2 Married Pink Elephants In The Historical Room –The Holocaustal Covid-19 Coronavirus Madness: A Sociological Perspective & Historical Assessment Of The Covid “Phenomenon”” ... https://www.rolf-hefti.com/covid-19-coronavirus.html
"There are large numbers of scientists, doctors, and presstitutes who will sell out truth for money, such as those who describe people dropping dead on a daily basis as “rare” when it it happening all over the vaccinated world." --- Paul Craig Roberts, Ph.D., American economist & former US empire official, in 2024
And psychopaths are typically NOT how Hollywood propaganda movies (or the Wikipedia/WebMD propaganda outlets) have showcased them. And therefore one better RE-learns what a psychopath REALLY is. You'll then know why they exploit/harm everyone, why they want to control everyone and have been creating a new world order/global dictatorship, and many other formerly puzzling things will become very clear.
“... normal and healthy discontent .. is being termed extremist.” -- Martin Luther King, Jr, 1929-1968, Civil Rights Activist
“Imagine a vaccine so safe you have to be threatened to take it.” --- from a poster

"Unexpectedly died coincidentally of suddenly?" -- Unknown, December 2022
"It used to be when someone died suddenly it meant they were in an accident. Every since they introduced the Covid vaccine even young children are dying suddenly." -- Lee Stevenson, December 2022
I am sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry, T99. He is, though, in a better place now, as you and so many have noted.

I kept looking at that word "elegy" knowing something was wrong. The word I was looking for was "eulogy," of course.
But thanks, everyone. Your kind expressions mean a great deal to me.
Elegy is also correct as long as it was a poem. Given the care you put into each word, and in this era of blank and free verse, no one could still deny you the term.
And the sweet little rescue dog is with me, too, a 24-lb. gray miniature pit bull called a "Pocket Bully." I guess the style was to crop the ears very close to the head; she looks like a tiny hippo! She'll leave for her hospice home in Missouri on Feb. 7. I made a little soft nest for her in a travel crate, where's she''s still in profound sleep this morning, snoring faintly.
