It reminds me of a quote from Garrison Keillor - "They say such nice things about people at their funerals that it makes me sad to realize I'm going to miss mine by just a few days".<br /><br />My late father-in-law donated his body to a medical school.

I've read about this, but this will be my first time attending such a service.stash haushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10244605573080920528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-5252385194483595632011-03-30T13:38:37.114+01:002011-03-30T13:38:37.114+01:00I am glad all went as hoped.

I then got married to a man who does laundry and didn't understand that hand knit sweaters don't generally go in the wash. It was so felted that it was not salvageable. Some day I'll make another, as quite liked it.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.com
