How we did our Daughter's Memorial. Almost 300 people and an open bar. Thankfully someone paid the 4k+ tab for us on their way out the door....

I told my wife I want to be cremated, she made an appointment for me Monday.
Honestly if they have anything for me, I want it on a Friday or Monday, that way if anyone shows up they get a day off on me!!!

I told Cindy (above) I have 100+ bottles of bourbon, rye, and single malt. I hope she likes bourbon! LOL She's on it.
My step dad wanted that. We had a nice celebration just like he would have wanted.

I'd like plenty of pictures to help tell the story.

Pedal down, slide her sideways in the driveway,
and when the dust clears, damn that was fun.
But hard on the equipment.
Your friend had character, and character breeds
friendship and trust. I didn't know him, but I
raise a glass.

I've grown quite proficient at not going, by necessity....
in the end, after the nuclear holocaust, it'll just be me and the cockroaches standing...

I told my wife to find a good excavating guy, because I'm getting buried in the Coronet. When I get home I want to take Jesus for a ride. I know He's a Mopar guy because the Bible says He drove the money changers from the temple in a fury.
A dear friend, who had cancer, met with the funeral home director. The friend, sitting there with his wife, proceeded to go through the arrangements of his wake. He told the director that he wanted to be sitting in a chair, his leg crossed over the other and his arms on the chairs armrests. His one hand would be elevated at the elbow and a glass would be gripped by his fingers. He wanted to be able to toast with his guests. He is a Marine. The funeral director took a moment and then looked at him and said, unfortunately, that he was not ready for that.
It was a huge affair anyway and that Marine was brought to his final resting place, at a National cemetery, in a cart pulled by a motorcycle. We stay in contact with his family.

Been there.......
My first funeral I went to in my wife's family was a blow out. I looked at my wife and said, what the hell are they doing, her answer, celebrating his life the way he wanted it. I'll never forget it!! I thought at first it was the most sacrilegious thing I had ever seen. I will say after a few minutes I got it and the site of happy tears was a site to behold.
Customer of mine had fireworks and was buried on his retirement property.
Going out with a bang! Love it.
