Glad you could print such an invite. In our country funeral directors (morticians in US) can offer families opportunity to print orders of service for funerals/celebrations of life with a loved one's pictures on.
While I personally am no enthusiast for suicide, I could agree with Neil Young's line. I would prefer to die while in possession of most of my faculties than wasted and senile. I could at least be happy that was how my father died (a heart attack at 70 with no lingering pain and after, same day attending a function where those present enjoyed his conversations).
Thank you for sharing this. We in DUP who rooted for her and enjoyed her poetic work have the ability to feel 'we were here' alongside you at the ceremony.
In the spirit of her quoted lines, would make a good cheering souvenir on anyone's wall.
