One volunteer task involves work for an editor who passed last year.
Obviously, when I die I'll cease to exist and no longer care what's said about me, but I always think the best tributes for the dead would resemble elementary school report cards:
Played well with others.
Always helped with the animals, plants, and clean-up.
Sat with the new kid at lunch.
Still working on self-regulation with big feelings, but trying their best.
And the crème de la crème?
"A pleasure to have in class."
If font is small enough, they should be able to get all this on your headstone.
Oh, even just the last part would be snazzy. :) Do you have a preference for your own elementary school report card eulogy?
She tried to live her life like Mrs Hagan, 4th grade teacher. Patience. Compassion. Forgiveness.
Oh, that is lovely. ❤️ What a beautiful thing, to give tribute to another even in a tribute to yourself.
