Remember the yellow dog? LOL! Anyway, I've already told my kids no visits. We aren't in there (the body) anymore. That's just the package. Like a present that's beautifully wrapped (the body), the gift is inside (the soul). The soul is who we really are. Our bodies are just so we can tell one another apart. : )<br>You're a terrific lady who can even make this subject funny.

I just remember her in the car with her family when they come home, and she sees him in town and has her hand on the door handle, but then goes home. And her kids discover the affair when they go through her things years later after her death?

But as a genealogist, I feel obliged to leave behind SOMETHING that future hunters can find. I really love walking thru cemeteries. I plan to buy a really nice marble or granite bench, and have my name and all the pertinent dates engraved for future generations. Then I'll donate it to my favorite family cemetery in PA. My family can do what they want with my ashes!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993803563570969593.post-88746827197317775082004-01-23T21:48:00.000-08:002004-01-23T21:48:00.000-08:00Wow.

Why take up valuable real estate for the living? I could be buried in a styrofoam coffin and wouldn't know the difference because my essence will be gone from the body. The funeral is for the living, not the dead. You shouldn't wait to say nice things about people after they are gone, you should tell them now.
