76 Days and Counting

76 more days and counting

Yep, getting closer

Yes  --- 85 days until the Happening!

Just came back from New Orleans and my brother, Ed, verified that he will take the trip to Eureka and partake in the Funeral scenarios.  Like they say -- "All's Well - That Ends Well!

No longer are folks asking "Why?" about my Funeral - - -
They now ask, "WHEN?"
121 days left and counting - - -

Thanks, Dan Aykroyd

Remember Me

Poem by Jessie Heitzmann of Pass Christian, MS -- 8-1-2012

Remember Me

When comes the day I return to dust,

As inevitably we all must,

Lay me down, though not with tears,

But joy for all the happy years.

Remember me in all things I love,

A rainbow arc in the sky above,

In winds that sing to swaying trees,

And moonlight’s glow on velvet seas.

Remember me in a summer storm

With lightning streaks in brilliant form,

In an evening sunset’s fiery blush

And twilight’s quiet, sleepy hush.

My spirit will live on, I pray,

In all I’ve touched along the way.

And if thoughts of me invoke a smile,

I’ll know my life has been worthwhile.

Jessie Heitzmann -- Pass Christian, MS -- 2012

My neighbors are so excited about my upcoming Jazz Funeral that they have dedicated a Cemetery in my honor. Complete with Tomb Stones and Grave diggings out from my front yard. In addition, I already have 25 pallbearers and eight mourners besides the officiates. Anyone interested, step up to the plate!
PS -- the formation of the diggings appear to be shapped like oyster shells -- Yummie! Give me a dozen raw!

Centurions

Had a good meeting yesterday to organize a select group of aged gentlemen who will act as prime ministers for the Jazz Funeral.  More on this group as the members allow their names to be used.
