The last day of the Olympics - it went by so fast! I had a great time watching the competitions, learning about the athletes. Their stories were incredible, and I was so impressed by their fortitude, perseverence, hard work.

My mother died in 2006, and before she died she surprised me by insisting on being cremated. Of course, we honored her request. Turns out that she isn’t the only one who is opting for cremation.
