Picture yourself attending a funeral. As you enter the room you see all your friends assembled weeping silently to themselves.

This is your funeral…all these people have come to honor you, to express feelings of love and appreciation for your life.

Friends:
People with whom you have worked:
People for whom you have volunteered:
