We fondly remember the players we have lost along the way.

When lilacs last in the dooryard bloom’d,
And the great star early droop’d in the western sky in the night,
I mourn’d, and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring.

– excerpt, “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d” by Walt Whitman

Tell all my mourners
To mourn in red —
Cause there ain’t no sense
In my bein’ dead.

– “Wake” by Langston Hughes
