Ingrid...

What I did was just wrote it all down...I have a file...whenever I see a

poem or heard a song, I wrote it in the file...I described the simplicity of my

casket with details to remember I'm a pastel person....and go light on the

flowers... and several other things...so it's done, even though I have no plans

of going anywhere any time soon. My grown children and my sister know there

is a file. Some other things are in the file...notes and poems for my

children. Paperwork for plots I bought years ago when my nephew died. Creates

a

little peace of mind...knowing my children don't have to make all the " real "

decisions. My Will and 401K paperwork also in there. My children will

laugh when they see " Spirit In The Sky " ....not exactly your typical song for a

funeral...but they will know to rejoice once they get over the initial

shock...it's not " fun " planning for this, but I felt it was a necessity to ease

the

burden for my children.

when I die I also want the Rainbow Bridge Poem read... if nobody knows that

ask I will post it. I want to believe when I die I will be reunited with my

beloved pets (dogs/horses etc) who went before me for a happy reunion. To

me there is no place such as heaven without them being there... and a fast

internet connection.

Gee I hope I'm not in the same form. I was obese most of my life till I had

gastric bypass surgery in 2000. I was 300 pounds now I'm a swelt 122-124

pounds 5 years 9 months later. In my next life I want to be beautiful and

not just extremely intelligent.
