## Quotes

Quotes
**Randi**: I'm glad we went to the wedding, but 17 hours on a plane was brutal.
**Max**: At least you weren't sitting next to a crying baby the whole time.
**Carter**: I couldn't help it. It was such a beautiful wedding. I just love. Love!
**Kat**: Alright, everyone. Wedding slideshow is done. Gather around.

**Kat**: Love. Light.
**All**: Leslie.
**Dolly Parton**: *Dear friend, there'll be. No sad farewell. There'll be no tear-dimmed eyes. Where all is peace, and joy and love, and the soul of man never dies.* Now, that's some lines from the song that you and I did together. I know usually, at a memorial, people talk about somebody. Well, I'm gonna talk to you. 'Cause there is that place on the other side, and I'm certainly gonna see you there, little brother. You left a lot of people here with a lot of precious, precious memories. Everybody loved you. But I doubt that many of 'em loved you more than I did. Anyhow, I just want you to know that we all love you, we all miss you and I bet you're having a big laugh over all of us being sad and sorrowful and I know that would be the last thing you would want us to be. So, anyway, you made us happy while you were here, and we're happy that you're at peace. And I just want you to know that I will always love you. Goodbye, my sweet Leslie. See you over there.
