Another piece of my childhood died today. David Nelson died at the age of 74 from complications with Colon Cancer. The news on the internet today is that he died at home following a protracted illness. He was the last living member of a Television family that were a small part in making a lot of us who we are today. Let's have a show of hands. anyone older than 45 not know who the Nelson's were? Folks make sure to have a colo-rectal screening for cancer done this year and every year afterward. Colon cancer is the easiest to catch early and one of the most deadly forms of cancer. I would much rather check once a year, than have to deal with the results of what colon cancer can cause. Get checked!




Below is a proposed time line for the death of our loved one. As you are now aware, death can be a surprise or a peaceful ending to a long life. The time periods of the dying experience below was developed by Barbara Karnes, RN which is called "Gone from my Sight" and given to us during hospice. It gave me much comfort during my mother's dying process which is divided into four time periods. The periods listed below are only an approximation.

If you contact a funeral home that is trying to sell flowers you should politely say no thanks. Many of the mom and pop funeral homes have been purchased by a just a couple very large companies . These companies maintain the local name but they operate very differently. The funeral directors working for the funeral homes get commissions on flowers that are sold, the funeral home also keeps some of your money as commission on your flower order instead of it going into the sympathy flowers. Worse yet the funeral home employees don't know anything about flowers, what is in season or in stock so you are paying a premium for lousy service.

Ego. It has "Edged God Out," as someone once put it. As a consequence, humans have little or no sense of felt oneness with Transcendence--the very thing all spiritual traditions seek to restore.

If you were born in the 70s, most likely you have heard his greatest hits like "Summer Wind", "Night and Day" and "My Way". The music and film industry lost this great singer and actor to heart attack and chronic bladder cancer. He died at the age of 82.

If you need several hundred printed you can search the internet for "color copies" and you will find several online suppliers eager to print your love ones funeral programs. You will need to be able to save the file as a PDF or TIFF file for printing. You can attach the file to an email message and that's basically it. Your funeral programs will be printed in full color on a high quality machine. For Microsoft Publisher 2003 and 2007 users simply save the file as a Tiff file under the Save as menu. The only draw back is that you have to save each page individually.

Getting a funeral plan is something any responsible person should get, or for the time being, at least should seriously consider. It saves you and your family money, it prepares everything for them, and every preparation will be based on your preferences. What more can you ask?
