Death. Do you have a personal story of someone that has handled their own death well?

I was reminded today of a former customer that died. A lovely woman, admired by her children and grandchildren, well liked in the community.
She was diagnosed with a nearly incurable cancer. Her family rallied around her, even bringing her to the auctions. One day I asked her
“How are you Sally?”
“Wonderful! Just got back from the Bahamas. We swam with the stingrays, jet skied and had a great time.”
The entire extended family had taken a trip to the Bahamas and she had kept right up with the kids and grandkids. They were constantly off on some adventure, and rallied around her all the time. Cliche, but she lived like she was dieing, and created some fantastic memories for her family to hold in her absence.

I’ll save #2.
