and I see one "wherever", I just feel...well, good. I smile and I feel good.

You're immortal, sir! - may the knowledge of that lift your loved ones' spirits as they mourn your passing.

8. Oh noooo. He was such a nice guy.

I was lucky to meet him a bunch of years ago during an LGBT awards gathering in Wichita, Kansas. Gilbert was from Kansas. He was fun and kind. This makes me so very sad.
