I have not really thought about my funeral but this thread reminded me... My cousin was killed in Iraq this past September. Before they send you over there they ask you what you want at your funeral should you get killed in action. He wanted everyone to wear Hawaiian shirts and for them to play, "Cheeseburger in Heaven" so they did!
WOW! I never knew that! what courages soldiers. I'd freak out if they asked me that.....

Boy, I'm sorry, and I know it's not the only loss you've had lately. I also have a cousin in Iraq and this is something I worry about daily.

Yeah, 2008 was a rough year. My cousin in September and my Grandfather on the same side of the family in October. I think my Grandfathers death had a lot to do with him being so distraught over losing my cousin. It has not been easy. My cousin was a true hero though. He used to have toys sent over and he would pass them out to the Iraqi children.
Anyway, I'm off topic! I hope your cousin comes home safely!
