Fitzgerald never got rid of anything the ghosts of his adolescence, the failures of his youth, the doubts of his maturity plagued him to the end.

What was life has crumbled. What was form, now falls away. Mortal chains unbind and the soul s free. May you find your way to the ancestors. May you find your path to the gods. May your bravery and courage be remembers in song and story, May your parents be proud, and ma our children carry your birthright. Sleep, and wander no more.
