No Stone.

Already made it known and in my will that there will be no stone, no funeral, no wake. I will be cremated and my ashes spread on the lake where we live. No matter how memorable I might be (and I am not saying that I am) in life, within two generations people will look at the stone and say "who the hell was that." I visit my grandparent's stone probably once a month, but my kids don't at all and barely remember their great grandmothers so really all in all, what is the point? It may sound cynical, but I really believe that if you do things in order to be remembered, you probably don't deserve to be remembered....best to do things quietly and without recognition. People will have the story wrong eventually anyhow.


and all this reminds me of something to remember:

In life, there are only two things to worry about.
You are either healthy or sick.

If you are healthy, you have nothing to worry about.

If you are sick, you only have two things to worry about.
You will either get well or die.

If you get well, you have nothing to worry about.

If you die, you only have two things to worry about.
You will either go to heaven or you will go to hell.

If you go to heaven, you have nothing to worry about.

If you go to hell,


You will be so busy shaking your friends hands, you won't have time to worry.
