But since we do not get to choose the "exit time" the only thing we can do is to be the best that we can be up until that time.

"... the questions, "who, what, where and when" are not so important. It is the "why(?)"that is still the mystery. Why life? Why death?"
Each person has different life experiences that weigh into the equation, and I can only speak for myself. I am a little more atuned to spirituality
than some, and have learned MY "truth". Personal experience, along with a lot of study from others' experiences, has lead me to know that everyone's
life - and death - is a minute part of the whole. We will not understand the "whole" until we die, but we must trust that whatever occurs is the way
it is intended and must be accepted as such. Even if you don't "believe", I would recommend the Sylvia Browne books, as well as the several life
after death books that are out. For many years I had figured out several pieces of the puzzle myself, but once I read Browne's books, it all came
together. My son's death reinforced much of what I came to believe about the goodness of God's Plan. Carlos Fiesta's death is as it should be, and
he lived a good life. His energy and memories will endure; his book will likely influence for years to come.

[Toneart said]: "I have often thought about the phrase 'He left doing what he loved'. Even though this was so, that doesn't somehow nullify the
sadness. Remember, it is the people who loved him (and his two amigos) and remain here on earth for whom it is sad."
In my experience, there can be two types of sadness when someone beloved dies. One is sadness for the person who died -- because, e.g., he/she died
in pain, or lived a sad or unfulfilled life, or "gave up" on life too soon. The other is sadness for myself -- grief -- because I won't have him or
her in my life anymore. It WOULD alleviate all or most of my sadness of the first type (i.e., sadness for the person who died) to know that he/she
died doing what they loved (and without pain).

This IS the Way to GO ?
I seriously doubt that was the last thought of Anyone on board.
Having come too close to death more than a couple of times doing things I loved, I know I was damned glad to have survived to do some of those things
again over the years.
Granted, a lingering death from disease is not something any of us look forward to, a drowsy drifting off some night after EVERYTHING has been done
would be best of all.
