[M.D. Holloway]

I have standing orders with my Wife how I wish my death celebration would be.

Upon my expiration, I will be cremated. My ashes taken to the cliffs in Newport RI (the Cliff Walk near 40 steps is fine) and at 7PM, my ashes will be sent out to the ocean breeze over the cliffs. Because my wife will be overcome by emotion, I wish for my Brothers to do the honors. Bagpipes will be wailing and hopefully a gentle soft mist will be falling.

Nice words about my life will be shared by as many people who can remember anything decent. Any tall tales or hearty lies will be honored and accepted. In fact, the more outlandish the story and tale, the better.

All attending must wear white - no black. After all has been said, laughed, and cried the party will proceed to the Black Horse Tavern for and extended dinner and feast that my death insurance will take care of.

My Watch will go to my Son, my wedding band to my youngest Daughter. My Wife and figure out the rest with help from my Brothers.

How do you wish to be celebrated???
