Notes:
memorial services 法事;
*******************
Three weeks ago, I went to a memorial service for a man who died at the age of 52. He was a sales representative for a textbook publisher, but I remember him as someone with a big heart who always listened carefully and tried to help teachers. I think many English teachers in Japan will miss him. Then, two weeks ago, I went to a memorial service for a singer who died of cancer at the age of 40. She was beautiful and very talented. Death is such a sad thing when it happens to people like these two. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
