    Vision of my Funeral:

    Song# 1 Tutti Fruitti sung by Little Richard (just to set the mood)

    next: Short summation of all the wonderful things I've accomplished and good deeds I've done in my life time.

    Song# 2 How Great Thou Art sung by Elvis Presley (directed at my personal being)
    next: More speeches of my many great deeds and accomplishments!

    next: Numerous Eulogy's to be given showering me with praise!

    Song# 3 Let's Have A Party sung by Oklahoma's own Wanda Jackson

    Last but not least: Flyers to be handed out containing "Mapquested" directions to the Red Dog Saloon for the final Good Bye and a little drink and entertainment for all my friends.

    I was once asked what I would like to have said at my funeral. After some careful thought I said the words I would like to hear most are "He's alive!"

    Ha!! I think I would also want the ability to sit up because you hear those stories of the guys in the long-term coma who heard everything but couldn't let their family know...
