A simple request when I finally leave this mortal coil.

Please, please, please put extra emphasis on the "fun" part of funeral! In fact, I would like it to be pronounced fun-er-uhl whenever it is announced or referenced verbally. I have nothing against the normal funerals that happen but I really do not want the remaining family and friends attending any sort of memorial for me with such heavy emotion weighing the room down. I know it is all important to the grieving process, a form of emotional catharsis and all that, but laughter would be a way more pleasant way to spend the time and certainly reflects my personality as aptly as any level of seriousness possibly could.

I truly appreciated today's service for our dearly beloved Nicole's recent departure from mortality. It could not have been any better in any way. She left an indelible mark on the world in a way that simply can not be measured... nor does it need to be... nor would she even want it to be. She really was that kind of excellent person. I feel blessed to have known her what little I did.
