I was fortunate to attend an Irish wake in San Antonio, Texas about a year and half ago. 
 
The individual was a retired Lt. Col. From the USAF and was in hospice care for almost two years before he died.  He scripted his funeral service down to and including a farewell poem he wrote to his ten children from two marriages and many grandchildren etc.
 
The only glitch was the pastor or his local Catholic church would not allow singing by one of his sons and that son’s daughter.  The funeral came through and everything work out for the best. 
 
My wife is not quite familiar with a military funeral service and we live in a town without any active duty military.  Therefore I have started a “What to do when I die and go to Heaven” Book.
 
It is a work in progress and has 12 chapters.

-------------- Original message -------------- 

I am starting a book of me
The thought is at my funeral there will be a book about me, made by me, to show what I thought was important in my lfe.

It is so hard to do one of these rememberance books at the time of grief, so am doing it now. No I do not think that I will die anytime soon but no since in waiting and have one of my kids do one. May not like it
Judy
