Yes, we should pray for the families involved. But we should also pray for the dead. How will they know they're in heaven unless we tell them? Even if "we each have a purpose in life", that doesn't mean we should be forgotten in the afterlife.

I completely agree with that. It's an often forgotten thing-- we pray for the people left behind, yet completely forget to pray for the people whose death provoked such prayer.

I also think it's part of our purpose to be remembered, if only by those who loved us in life. There's a kind of eternity in rememberance, no matter how many or even who is doing the remembering.

All that being said, I should probably stop posting things late at night, as I wind up only half saying what I am attempting to write, as is evident with the rambling comment. :D Thanks for your input!
