Many African Societies divide humans into three categories:
those still alive on the earth, the sasha, and the zamani. The recently
departed whose time on earth overlapped with people still here are the
sasha, the living-dead. They are not wholly dead, for they still live in
the memories of the living, who can call them to mind, create their
likeness in art, and bring them to life in anecdote. When the last
person to know an ancestor" dies, that ancestor leaves the sasha for the
zamani, the dead. As generalized ancestors, the zamani are not forgotten
but revered.

Bill has moved on.
