Western Union: A Non-Elegy for the Telegram

I sort of feel like I should write an elegy for the passing of the Western Union telegram service, but now that I contemplate it for about 10 seconds, I realize that I don't think I have ever sent a telegram in my life, and the only one I ever remember receiving was the one that came to my father from his Uncle Fred when Aunt Hilda died in about 1960!
