Message: [QUOTE="rbny1, post: 2583952, member: 130"] That's the kind of obit I want when I die. Several months ago I went to a memorial service for my friend and neighborhood Alice, who loved to booze and was very funny. Her brother started the service by saying it would be like a Quaker meeting: people should sit silently and reflect on Alice's life, and perhaps one or two people might be moved to speak briefly. The brother didn't know Alice's friends very well. People immediately started telling amusing and raucous stories about her. It went on for nearly two hours, and we all had a great time. I kept thinking -- too bad Alice isn't here, she would have loved it. [/QUOTE]
