What would you like said about you at your
funeral?
Really, I don’t care what is said at the funeral
proper. The important part of the
funeral is when the family gets together before and after to talk about all the
good times and stories. All those who
know and love the person (me, in this case) talk about the memories that will
keep me in their heart. In the last
three years, I have lost two uncles, a dear cousin, my grandpa, my dad, my
father-in-law, and a dear friend. What
is said at the funeral is already forgotten. Instead, I remember Uncle Ray saving me from
the bear fur on the floor, Uncle Albert’s love of popcorn, Marie editing and
loving my stories, Grandpa teaching me to make lefse, Dad’s love of nature, Don’s
love of all that I baked, and spending time with Joe at football and softball
games. Really, these are just one example
from each person who I love dearly. I am
blessed to have some many more stories and memories. I want to leave people with heartwarming stories
and memories that make them smile when they think of me after my death.
