"I did not cry then or ever about Finny... I could not escape a feeling that this was my own funeral, and you do not cry in that case." (194)

This shows how much a part of Finny he became. He was so much of him that he could not cry, because it was like he himself died. You can't cry for yourself, because you're dead. Part of him was dead and gone.

How did Gene feel about Finny's death?
