OUCH! LOL. Good thing is I will be dead and wont have any ability to care. I wouldn't advice live people to do it regardless.

I told my wife not to have a funeral for me, but just to have me cremated and then send out emails to tell everyone later.  I don't want to be the cause of people traveling long distances for such a paltry ritual.

I also told her she could take her immediate family who live nearby out to eat, my treat.  They can discuss me informally if they want.

I assume they will say I was nice and funny, but that's about it.  Only my wife and the people on the two atheist forums know much more about me.

I'd like to be described in stuttering and broken drunk-speech, by some person who would, after that night, become a parent.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

She's not pinin'! She's passed on! This woman is no more! She has ceased to be! She's expired and gone to meet 'er maker! She's a stiff! Bereft of life, she rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed 'er to the perch she'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Er metabolic processes are now 'istory! She's off the twig! She's kicked the bucket, She's shuffled off 'er mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-WOMAN!!
