I want also to add my voice to what I believe is a growing choir of sentiment regarding the theme of "celebration of life." More and more folks to whom I speak want to move away from the maudlin grieving around caskets and move toward a celebration of the life the person who has died. I found the tribute that you planned and executed so beautifully for my Mom to be a wonderful way for my family and me to celebrate with all her friends the impact her life had had upon us all. I truly believe this is the right direction for funerals to move toward. If there were any doubt about how satisfying that is for a family, then let me dispel it. It is surely the most wonderful way to say "good bye."
