The Happy Betan Funeral Song By Jig Reyes '87G
I am deeply saddened by our Brother's death. My soul reaches out to his
family in this, their time of grief.
But my own grief is short-lived as I remember Brod Banz, for what comes
to mind is not his sickness, his misfortune and his death. I remember
instead the Banz who taught, the Banz who dreamt, the Banz who created, and the
Banz who LIVED!
Now, brothers, I am not much of a poet and God knows my English is
atrocious, but this morning in memory of our Brod, I wrote something that I hope
you will all improve on, or even change, as needed. Point is, whenever Betans
pass on, we must collectively, or alone, remember them in our thoughts, and I
hope when some other brod puts music to the following words, we can do remembrance with a song. Brod Banz deserves no less than a song from
us.
Now I know that this might be a knee-jerk reaction, but I am hoping
somebody else will "jerk off" with me, in memory of Banz.
Who me, Malmon?
