B: ‘1- IWv JvL® Wf \ Charlie Harris & Gary Eastlund When asked if they hove mode pions for their own death, many people respond that they ore too busy living. To them, life is separate from death. The business of life is concerned with mortgages, job, family, vocations and the like. Let us suggest that death, like birth, is port of the continuum of life. It is the leaving of life. It should be paid as much attention to as birth. While a birth requires preparations for entry into a family, death requires preparations for an exit. All of life's phases ore best met through understanding and preparation. It is equally prudent to establish plans for our ultimate passing. Thus choices established now alleviate the necessity for difficult decisions at an emotional moment by bereaved family members. H also may serve as a source of comfort to the family that the plans were os the deported has desired. For information, planning or answers to your questions, please call HARRIS FUNERAL HOME.
