Have the numbers for future visits. The other half I placed in the grave with my MIL back north. Now when he gets tired of her nagging he can leave and go fishing.

Guess I am one of the few without issues regarding one's death. I'll continue to continue as I am able to and have no issues with the inevitable. Matter of fact, will make sure I don't wind up like so many elderly individuals. No burden on my family and they are aware of my feelings.
