“The stories I have told. My work is now complete.

My family and friends are left to continue the earthly journey.

Remember that I have made a difference, Big and small.

I ask that you continue your journey.

And always remember me until we meet again.

Tell the story. Have a laugh. Drink a beer.

Carry on!”
