It is common knowledge among all our friends that my funeral will be a huge potluck with everyone bringing food so DH can have enough in the freezer to last him until all the widows line up at the gate or until he learns how to use the stove.... I'm betting on the widows.
So last Sunday our newspaper ran a feature about the programs at funerals and how they're changing... Instead of the standard scripture verses or hymns, often they contain lyrics to popular music, poems by family members or friends and even humorous verses written by the deceased... They invited readers to send in contributions of their own..
Since I've already mention I have a box of all the things I'm taking with me when I go, writing a verse for the program was just my cup of tea!!!

Cute. I'm sure your DH will be well fed after you leave (grin).

I had a little giggle when I read this but it is so true, if the man is taken first the friends and neighbours do not rally round the same with food as they would if he is left!
Have to share. I read this post to my hubby. Later in the shower, I heard him giggling. When he got out, I asked what he was laughing at. He said, "That must be why guys go first - they would starve to death if they didn't." Thanks for the laugh.

Very appropriate, Gerry. As a widower, I forsee that my DH would starve if wasn't near a Wendy's.
