"To remember me..." by Robert N. Test
From my Bed of Life, let my body be taken from it to help others lead fuller lives. Give my sight, my heart, my blood, my kidneys, my bones, every nerve and muscle in my body. Explore every corner of my brain. Burn what is left and scatter my ashes to the winds to help the flowers grow. If you must bury something, let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all prejudice against my fellow man. Give my sins to the devil; give my soul to God. If, by chance, you wish to remember me, do it with a kind deed or word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked, I will live forever.
At Karen's request, there will be no visitation or services.
