  1. Good point! Though we did bury our Dad with his business card in his hand. I wanted to put a bumper sticker on the casket as he always had a 'vote democrat' one on his truck. Over ruled by Mom.

  2. A good one. Even without pockets good deeds remain as a legacy.

  3. As they say, you can't take it with you. Money isn't much good to a ghost!

  6. I first heard the saying, "They don't make pockets in shrouds" when I was quite young. Now that I'm older, it does make sense.
