    I think this is what we will miss most, basically Paul O'Grady being Paul O'Grady. After Lilly he simply became his normal self and his warmth was infectious, may he rest in eternal peace.
    Condolences to his daughter family and friends.

    That’s how a funeral should be. Less of the tears and lamentations that the person is gone but more of a celebration of their life and what was so brilliant and funny and wonderful about them. Be happy that they lived, not sad that they’re gone. They’re in a better place, as the saying goes.

    • @Anon.5216
      @Anon.5216 Před rokem

      It is normal to be sad and cry when someone dies. It is a compliment to them. I would hate to think that people only laughed at my funeral. Grief is real and it is a true sign of love for the deceased. The idea that everybody should "have a good time" at a funeral is so disrespectful.
