First there was the Tim Russert Wake and Memorial Service:
The funeral cost to the nation was too great.
Maria Shriver read the poem....The Little Ship.
It would be wrong not to repeat it.
"The Little Ship"
I stood watching as the little ship sailed out to sea. The setting sun tinted his white sails with a golden light, and as he disappeared from sight a voice at my side whispered, “He is gone”.
"But the sea was a narrow one. On the farther shore a little band of friends had gathered to watch and wait in happy expectation. Suddenly they caught sight of the tiny sail and, at the very moment when my companion had whispered, “He is gone” a glad shout went up in joyous welcome, “Here he comes!”
A Good post on this is here:

Then there was the song over the rainbow. People walked out of his memorial service to this Rainbow. Was this a blessing from the man upstairs(apologies to atheists if this does not make you a believer nothing will)
If you do not cry during this Video! You are not human. Barack Obama and John McCain sat together at this event. If you ever click on a Rest in Peace link click on this one!

Then there was the Tasha Tudor death: The great literary illustrator green lady died.
Kids will miss her. Even guys read "The Secret Garden."

As if this was not enough we also lost George Carlin the modern Free Speech almost pornographic comedian.
Even Jerry Seinfeld is coming back to honor him.
In the 2 weeks Funeral Cost has been too high in the USA!
May all Rest in Peace.
