request. I also have a living will, as did my parents and they too had made all

their own funeral arrangements years prior to their passing on. I cannot tell

you what a tremendous help that was to me as I am an only child and my kids were

still young, below preteen, when my last parent passed.

Peggy,

Thanks for sharing, I am sorry you are dealing with the " psycopath " but am glad

you are separated from this. I am the executor for my Father's will and there

is stress with what my sisters want for his burial and that is the only thing

left to discuss with him. My Mother was specific and it really helped as my Dad

asked us to plan the funeral. He is 91 and says I am not old yet to talk about

it.

I am having trouble addressing it but will after the holidays so this is

something I don' t want to be a burden for me and our family. The saying you

shared hits home and really is what happens.

Bennie
