There's humor even in death.

My cousin (actually my first cousin once removed) passed away tonight at 7:30 PM EST. She was suffering and now it is over.

When I spoke to my cousin (the deceased daughter) and spoke a bit, I had said that she's in Heaven now which is a better place.

Her reply, "God help Heaven!"

That cracked me up!

    Let me put it this way. She's definitely going to be getting God's attention.

    Sorry for your loss but your cousin seemed like a strong person...it's tough to keep up one's spirits under such conditions.

    I remember a story about my uncle--not about death but about his crusty peronality. He was a peasant in Europe and was out in the fields harvesting some crops...the sky was getting dark and he was hoping to finish before the rains overwhelmed them....unfortunately that's not what happened. As the rains fell....he got on the ground with his feet kicking into the sky and swearing profusely he started complaining about God's timing! "What's the matter you hate me so much you couldn't wait a few mintutes!", he said. He was a hell of a character...whose been gone for a while now!

    Take care..

    My neighbor was a funeral home employee and then branched out on his own.His dad owned a funeral home in a small town so he grew up around death his whole life.

    His employees must have a strong sense of Humor and IS required behind the scenes when dignity is not projected. They'd go crazy I would imagine if they were always somber.

    That series where a real funeral home was filmed behind the scenes was real close to what I see at his business too. Very strong willed people for sure!;)
