One person said that many were the younger generation that could, unlike their parents, go abroad and get a good education in canada. They had so much hope and promise.

1. It really breaks your heart to read about them.

I don't know why, but reading these obituaries made me think of this passage in A Moveable Feast by Hemingway:

“You expected to be sad in the fall. Part of you died each year when the leaves fell from the trees and their branches were bare against the wind and the cold, wintery light. But you knew there would always be the spring, as you knew the river would flow again after it was frozen. When the cold rains kept on and killed the spring, it was as though a young person died for no reason.”
