A GREAT OBIT

Sometimes you just have to put the fun in funeral.  Monique Heller ralized that when she honored her father, Joe, who passed away last week at age 82.  Joe's irreverent life well lived was chronicled in his obituary:

The obit went viral and the funeral that followed...well, let's let The New York Times take it from here:

It's my view that funerals should not be solemn.  They should be a joyous celebration of life as well as a chance to say things that should have been said before.   We should all be as lucky as Joe Heller in that ours lives should be appreciated and honored with joy, laughter, and good memories.
