on 6/18/2008 These are sad to write. But it is something that has to be done. Just be sure to get all those dates correct.

on 6/18/2008 Great advice, I should have had more input into my mother's. A great new thing I have seen is including the names of any pets left behind, my mother would have appreciated that.

on 6/17/2008 Very well written. It reminded me of my mother-in-law's obituary and how all family members contributed something funny to lighten the sadness.
