On Death and Dieing

Yesterday’s funeral got me thinking about my own mortality and funerals in general. If you are creeped out by rather frank thoughts on death and funerals, don’t read any further!

Here are some random thoughts:
1. Don’t forget, I am going to the U to be a cadaver.
2. When they are done with me, please do not waste an absurd about money on a box to put me in. I am not there and I promise, I do not care and nor should anyone else.
3. Please DO spend a lot of money on a nice lunch afterwards. DO NOT serve sandwiches, sandwiches are NOT comfort food. Pasta and chocolate will comfort people, sandwiches have no redeeming comfort value.
4. No stuffy formalities please, just show up in whatever you are comfortable in. Black is very boring. If you must wear black, at least wear my favorite color, purple, too!
5. Laugh and laugh some more.
6. Rest assured I am with the Lord!
