Death Quotes
Death shows up in conversation more than we admit.

See Death And Taxes Quotes for more.

I've dealt with losing close ones before, and I've been around friends that have lost friends at a young age. I think it's important to think about - not necessarily death, but about life and think about where you're going and how you want to be remembered and the legacy you want to leave.
