Am I the only one who thinks leaving "condolences" on someone's Facebook wall after their passing is one of the most impersonal things you can do? Not only that, but it's like putting it on blast. Shouldn't a condolence or "farewell" be a humble act? To me, putting it on Facebook is just saying "Hey everyone, look, I showed my respect and said something nice that should bring tears to your eyes. Can you beat me?"
I remember when a simple personal blog was enough to show condolences. You weren't trying to talk to the passed. You were simply telling the world how amazing this person was and how unfortunate the event was.
Eric Kilgore, may you rest in peace.
You were always indestructible in my eyes. To know that you are gone is so surreal to me, no matter how close or not close we were in our moments in high school. It just shows that no matter how strong, weak or wall-flower a person is, dead is still the ONLY THING IN LIFE YOU HAVE TO DO.
Eric Kilgore was a man of integrity. He did not die in vain. RIP.
