funerals

Aunt Estelles funeral was well -- I didn't like it. I like personal funerals where people talk about the person, their accomplishments, what made them - them, where someone tells a story. Why people will miss them. Where people actually cry because they remember the good. So... Aunt Estelle's pretty much talked about how she was Uncle Garth's wife and how she was a mother.... That's what she did that wasn't really who she was though, they were simply life roles. I don't want to die and someone say she's a daughter of so and so the sister to her brothers. I want someone to say she always went out of her way for her loved ones, She loved babies, kids, animals, Mission work etc... Something along those lines. And if there is a memory that brings a smile to whoever speaks its face then dammit share it. I want people to laugh and cry and realize that I was a person. And why I was me. And why I will be missed and why I was loved.

I liked Uncle Garths, Grandmoms, and Uncle Georges.

I don't like preachers/ pastors who use this time of remembrance or grievences for time to save everyone and preach about religion. You are there to honor someone. Act appropriately.
