We are all reeling from the loss of comedic great Joan Rivers – she was a lady who used humor as a natural part of life. She even left her funeral wishes with strict instructions that there was to be laughter and fanfare!

She provided us with a lot of laughs and now she is leaving us with another important lesson – to let our loved ones know of our funeral wishes while we still have our say.
