Leave behind info about arrangements, who to contact etc, fine, but writing your own eulogy? Or listening to someone else's? Blimey, if you can't let go when you're dead, when can you? <br /><br />A party might be a good idea for some, though I'm not sure for me - at least, not if it was announced as a farewell party. Supposing the medics were inaccurate, and one lived on another three or four years? That might prompt the comments "still around then. when's the next so-called goodbye bash...?"gloriamundihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476712899700515223noreply@blogger.com
