We are not immortal

[PMBrent]

A few weeks ago there was a request for help on a Transwoman who died while living with a friend. She left no evidence of who she had been. No will, nothing ready for those who cared for her. Now many of us have the same thoughts. She would have ended in paupers field if no one came forward to say who she was. But no one knew. Take the time to make a will. If you are a veteran you can be buried in a VA cemetery. I know three people who committed suicide and their parents burried them as male. Make a will and state how you wish to be buried, where any estate should go. File it so that no one can disrespect you. Make sure your Social Security number has been updated. With no Idea who you were, you risk being forgotten as to who you are. Yes, mine has been done for years. It was done when I remarried and my husband the same. His ashes sit at my TV with both names on it. Steve and Sharon. She is to be buried with me at FT Snelling in Mpls when I pass on. Give your friends a break and make your own obit. I did, it states how I feel about my relatives and what I want others to know of me. It took a month for them to find her family.
