The difference between the two events was striking. In the
former, everyone (even the parents) said "As least they died
doing something they loved" -- and meant it. Our friends left no
dependents, so their fate was truly their own. Although death
came to them too soon, it seemed almost a noble way to go,
compared to so many alternatives.

Before I was flying, we knew a couple who were both pilots. The
woman was killed in a crash, and the husband said he was comforted
that she died doing something she loved. They had no kids. At the
time -- being a young wife and mother -- I could not relate to
that statement at all. It sounded too matter-of-fact. Now, being
older and a pilot myself, I understand it.

I don't. I'd much rather die at the hands of a jealous husband..

Ditto, but on my 100th birthday, of course.

And more than one husband , if possible.
