Friends Some Time Before Gary's Death |
PORTLAND, OR—Area young men Stephen Folds and Eric Johnson,
attending the funeral of their close friend Gary Hall, picked up several very
attractive young women. “It wasn’t
really our plan,” said Folds, “it just turned out that Gary had lots of cute
friends he had met at BYU.” Folds’ friend Johnson added that “Gary’s friends who don’t live here in Portland
wanted to know about the last months of his life. We started to talk about it, but we were sort of disruptive at the funeral.” The young
men decided to continue their conversation with their deceased friend Gary’s
attractive female friends, inviting them to go out to get pizza. After dinner, when the young men were
returning to their respective homes, Johnson commented to Folds that they had
picked up cute girls at their best friend’s funeral, and both agreed that Gary
would have wanted it that way.
Odd, but death at a young age is also odd. Sounds more like an Irish Wake where the celebration of a friends life is more important than focusing on the sadness associated with the temporary separation caused by death.
