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.
It was a long time ago that I decided the most important thing I wanted done on my day when I am “laid to rest”, as a matter of fact it was during my own mother’s funeral in 1979 that the thought first occurred to me.
Here’s the story how I made up my mind… Can we Talk?

“I don’t exercise. If God had wanted me to bend over, he would have put diamonds on the floor.” ~ Joan Rivers (from Huffington Post)
R.I.P. Joan Rivers
(1933-2014)
