Marriage: After the death of a never-married 94 year old woman
|
After the death of a never-married 94 year old woman of his parish, the priest was given a note from her personal belongings. In the woman's handwriting were specific instructions for her funeral service. Along with suggestions for Scripture Readings and music were the following orders: "There will be no male pallbearers. Since they wouldn't take me out when I was alive, I don't want them to take me out when I'm dead." Another punch line to a similar story said "Please don't let them put "Miss" on my tombstone. I haven't missed as much as they think." |
