Excerpts from "The New Place" by Warren Hansen
In Memory of our Beloved Matriarch
The next place I go will be peaceful and familiar.
I will glide beyond the rainbows.
I will drift above the sky.
I will be embraced by all the family and friends I have ever known.
And the circle of our spirits will shine brighter than the sun.
I will cherish all the love and laughter in the place I leave behind.
In lieu of a formal service, cards, flowers, or memorials, we suggest that everyone go out with the family for ice cream.
