I remember when my mom died when I was 13, turning around in the limo to watch all the cars in her funeral procession. I was shocked at the huge number of cars! I had no idea that she had "mattered" to so many people, and from that point on to today, that is what I hope for for me, that when I go, people will acknowledge that I MATTERED in their lives.

I also plan to be an organ donor, firmly believing in that most precious gift. After the docs have taken all that they can use, I want to be cremated. I would want my ashes sprinkled from a couple of places, from high in the Rocky Mountains, to the Atlantic Ocean off Palm Beach, to a quiet park somewhere here in Arkansas, somewhere that has beautiful sunrises and sunsets, tall trees and lots of green. These are places that bring joy to my heart now, and where i would hope to rest.

As for memorial services, I want musical selections that mean something to me, and I have already asked my ex AA sponsor to sing "Amazing Grace". She has the most incredible voice. I would hope for a couple of services, one in FL for all my peeps down there, and one wherever I happen to be living, where my kids and grandkids and friends can come together and remember me and laugh and cry and celebrate my life and yes, how I MATTERED in their lives.
