Sadly, my friend Trevor passed away in July. One of his favorite authors was Kurt Vonnegut, and he had an Etsy store where he made and sold lapel pins, such as this (Shop Martin, named after his dachshund). I was able to purchase one that his parents fulfilled. It’s an epitaph that is in Slaughterhouse Five. It reads “Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt.”
