Answer 1

"They that love beyond the world cannot be separated by it.
Death cannot kill what never dies.
Nor can spirits ever be divided that love and live in the same
divine principle: the root and record of their friendship.
If absence be not death, neither is theirs.
Death is but crossing the world, as friends do the sea;
...they live for one another still.
This is the comfort of friends:
that though they may be said to die,
yet their friendship and society are, in the best sense immortal, because they are everpresent."

William Penn, Fruits of Solitude

(This reading isn't Masonic, but if he was an active Mason, there will probably be Masonic rites provided by the lodge, so your reading doesn't necesarily have to be Masonic.)
