There's no combination of words I could put on the back of a postcard

The wall-to-wall crowd of the memorial from which I have just returned testifies to the love poured out and returned by the guest of honor, but I would still rather have been in the worldline where they were present to be celebrated in more than memory.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but I'm glad you could be among other mourners for this person.

I am, too. It was the kind of day where I wouldn't have left the house if I hadn't had the memorial to attend, but it was possible for me to be there and so it was important to. And then I came home and a person in a sleek dress holding a paper cone of flowers leapt out of a car and dashed around the corner to what was evidently a party or a date. Everything is always going on.

Rlly. (That's somehow quite vivid.)
