From the looks of her she really needed the extra helpings of "old fashioned funeral food."
What happened to her, her heart explode?

She sounds like a fun person.

Too bad we did not have a chance to get to know her!

She must have been great. Not one of those losers who criticize everything....

act as skeptics....

tear down and not build up....

God Speed!

I hope one day my obit reads the same way. I would love for people to smile and laugh as they read about me. I never knew this lady but really wish I had. She sounds wonderful!

Someone left me a link to this. Maybe it was you. Maybe they came from here. That's not the point. The point is this might be the best obit ever in the history of obits. I wonder if she wrote it herself? You know, before she died.

A Celebration of Life! That's the way it should be done!

I agree! This lady sounds like a fun person.

I think our society has replaced naysayers with people who claim to be skeptics and the conscience of the public.

Just great!........churches that call the "service" a "celebration of life" should be congratulated.

So should funeral homes, that endorse freedom in such things........

Wow!

Just re-wrote my own wishes for my family to include a celebration with food and drink and rock and roll music upon my death. I have always hated the church, the organ music, the flowers, the crap. I love this!!!!

I wish I could've known her. She sounds like she would've been the "life of the party". Reading her obit though made me think that she is now telling jokes & making people in Heaven laugh and that makes me happy inside.
