A good friend of mine, who was dying of terminal cancer, had his wake while he was still alive, so that he could say goodbye to everyone ,and could enjoy one hell of a going away party !He passed away a few days later – no ceremony or funeral, just fond memories of a great man.
Great idea! And a great opportunity to go “one up” on any unfortunate adversaries who happen to attend. Bwahaha! No, really, going out with a great party has long been a fantasy of mine.

I wonder if Yogi Berra was surprised at his funeral?

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming and crying like the passengers in his car.

There’s a reason the Irish laugh at funerals and cry at weddings !In one instance, the person is going to a much better place than before…
