"[opening voice- over] Quentin Fields was a basketball player. He was also a son. A brother. Somebody's teammate. And somebody's friend. I didn't know Quentin Fields and I guess now I never will. Did you ever wonder what it would be like if you weren't you anymore? If you were suddenly gone, how would your world react? Whatever you imagined is wrong. There's nothing romantic about death. Grief is like the Ocean. It's deep and Dark and bigger than all of us. And pain is like a thief in the night. Quiet. Persistant. Unfair.

[closing voice-over]: (...) He was also a son.
A brother.
Somebody's teammate.
And somebody's friend. (...)
Grief is like the ocean: it's deep and dark and bigger than all of us.
And pain is like a thief in the night.
Quiet. Persistent. Unfair.
Diminished by time and faith and love.
(...) I see how [your] absence has affected the people that did know [you], so I know that [you] did matter to them. And I know [you were] loved.
People say [you were] a great [hockey] player. Graceful. Fluid. Inspiring. They say on a good night it almost seemed as though [you] could fly.
And now [you] can.
