For my peace of mind I would like this read at my FUNeral PARTY
There comes a time in everyone's life when they must sit back and reflect on what their life has meant to them and others. I will die a quiet death far from anyone who knows me, I have foreseen it and have already relived a life once. I have been lucky enough to have survived a near death experience once, being brought back to life after a water rescue as a lifeguard. I know what lies in my future and that is why I have written a living will.
There have been many people who have entered my life for one reason or another and I would like those people to know they have profoundly impacted my life and I would like them to know I greatly appreciated them, Mom(Though we may have been estranged for years you have always been my strength and my guidance), Uncle John(the family patrioc- thank you), Brad K, Susan L, Kathy K, Wendie G (I love you hon forever).
Stacy B (God Bless you hon), Tracy H, Erin W(someday you will get the GOLD Medal), Missy D, Christie W, and so many more to name here. These people whether they know it or not coming into my life with your problems, your advice has made me a stronger person. You will never be forgotten and missed terribly.
My FUNeral- it will be a party, where black is not allowed. I have lived a full and rewarding life so I want to go the way people knew me when I was living....and frankly that was me making others smile and laugh.
So I will not be placed in a box, instead I want to be seated next to my sign (see other page) in my shorts and t-shirt...i want Kesha Jae Prindle(of Homer Alaska) to DJ the party and everyone is to dance and reminisce and remember good times with me......my death is an extension of my life and I will be back!!!!! Bet on it!!!!
I would also like my Saint Christopher's Medal to be given to Christie W. In life He guided me though troubled times and lead me down the right paths...may He can guide Christie though better times also, I only wish I could have gotten a chance to get to know you better cause I feel you have a lot to offer the right person if you are treated with the same respect and caring back....and besides I just thought you were an awesome person from what I got to see...I really wish I could have found out about the real you. You may not have realized it in my life time Christie but so many time you were my strength and the one I could lean back on.
I always kept a low profile on my life because I never wanted to burden those who needed my help with my problems. You will never know how much those 6am calls you made to me on your way to work meant to me, or the times you cried on my shoulder at work because you were having guy problems, family problems or problems with work. I never once in life turned my back on you and until the day I died Christie my doors were always open- waiting- hoping that just for one brief second you would be standing outside my door with those big puppy dog eyes looking at me to ask me for a hug and to let you know you were always loved by the one person who never left your side. Though you kept your distance after I left Iowa you were never further than a call or email away and I cherished every time you contacted me, because I always wanted to show you that you could have trusted me and that I ALWAYS MEANT WHAT I SAID and SAID WHAT I MEANT. Forever Christie I will ALWAYS Love you and watch over you
My personal Obituary.....
"I came into this world very young and unsophisticated...I sought guidance and knowledge though out my life for the benefit of helping other...now in my time of rest I guess I will take the time to sort the nuts by color!"
A day will come when my body will be upon a white sheet neatly tucked under four corners of a mattress located in a hospital busily occupied with the living and the dying. At a certain time a doctor will determine that my brain has ceased to function and that, for all intent and purpose, my life has stopped.
When that happens, do not attempt to install artificial life into my body by the use of machines. And don't call this my deathbed. Let it be called the Bed of Life, and let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives.
Give my sight to the man who has never seen a sunrise, a baby�s face or love in the eyes of a women. Give my heart to a person whose own heart has caused nothing but endless days of pain.
Give my blood to the teen-ager who was pulled from the wreckage of her car, so that she may live to see her grandchildren play. Give my kidneys to one who depends on a machine to exist. Take my bones, every muscle, every fiber and nerve in my body and find a way to make a crippled child walk.
Explore every corner of my brain. Take my cells, if necessary and let them grow so that, some day, a speechless boy or girl could shout at the crack of a bat and a deaf girl will hear the sounds of rain against her window.
Burn what is left of me, and scatter the ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow. If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all prejudices against my fellow man. If by chance you wish to remember me, do so with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked- I WILL LIVE FOREVER! GOD BLESS ALL MY FRIENDS!
To ALL my Friends...
The Lord's known all along
The needs within our life
So He sprinkles FRIENDS along this path
Through joyful times and strife
FRIENDS are there to share
Through the laughter and the tears
FRIENDS are there to care
Through the passing of the years
FRIENDS become your strength
In the times you've been beaten down
FRIENDS understand your sorrow
When no joy can be found
FRIENDS accept your faults
No matter what they are
FRIENDS are FRIENDS forever
Whether living near or far
So I thank the Lord Above
For the FRIENDS He's given me
For they are truly blessings
For everyone to see....
