I’m glad that his last wishes have been carried out.

I have no other words for this great man.

The world is a lesser place without Sir Terry, but it’s a better place for having had him. Long may his works continue to raise a chuckle.

…And, I finally got around to reading the article in the OP. They describe Gaiman as a friend of Pratchett’s, and they list some of his best-known works, but they don’t mention _Good Omens_? When the guy you’re quoting co-authored a book with the guy you’re quoting him about, how do you not mention that?

Dunnow, how do you write “the destroyed hard will be placed”… without your fourth-grade teacher appearing, from the grave if need be, to analyze all your faults in great and specific detail?
