DON'T BURY ME WITH SHOES ON MY FEET

This is for all the children out there who do not want to talk about future arrangements for the still living, who shall depart from us some day.  Yeah that is right, we want to talk about how to bury us when we die. 

 

It is important to make arrangements ahead of time.  Decide who shall get what jewelry, the house, the car, and any money.  What to wear, what not to wear.  Some children just do not want to talk about it. 

 

We are going to die, if Jesus doesn't come first.  Children sit down and have a talk with your parents.  Take notes, write down the desires of your loved ones.  Concerning valuables get it notarized.

 

Why?  Example:  Mom has always told you her ring goes to sister Sue, but when she passes sister Sarah is there and takes the ring.  She says Mom told her to take it.  Well the nurses heard it also.  The thing is Mom was saying take it,not keep it.  Put these things in writing, then there will be less fighting. 

 

When the family sits down and talks about the arrangements, even those who disagree, know the wishes of the person. 

 

Now for me, do not put any shoes on my feet.  And let the girls be free, after all I am being cremated.  Take my ashes to the far side of Florida, not the Gulf side [the water is to muddy] and drop me in two feet of water so I will go out with the tide.  I do not want anyone to take me home and place me on the mantel, or a shelf.  If you must do something take some marshmallows, Hershey chocolate and graham crackers and over a fire make smores. Write my name on balloons and release them into the air, I prefer black and white.  Last but very important print out the song 'Let the Circle be Unbroken' and sing it around the fire.  Laugh about how crazy I was to have you do this, and speak into the wind 'She did love us, in her own way!' 

 

God Bless
