How Do You Want to be Remembered? This is a Riot.

Sing this out loud....yes, you, too, Susan, loudly! (So you can hear it! LOL!)

"A few of my favorite things...is the tune"

Manhattans with olive and lunch with the ladies; Phone calls and golf balls and fresh newborn babies, Tender beef sirloins, prepared very rare, Give a hint of a party and Rene will be there.

Red wine and bleu cheese and Friday night parties, Crab legs and pork ribs and Matt's Juicy Lucy's. Birdies and bogies that come in the spring, These are a few of Rene's favorite things.

Refrain: In the morning, before coffee, when we're feeling sad, we'll simply remember Rene's favorite things and then we won't feel so bad.

Football and show tunes and the PGA tour. Go Gophers, go Tigers and go Washburn Millers, Boating on Bylesby, the July Fourth parade, Five kids, but no mortgage, hell we've got it made.

Bridge club and best friends and four-hour lunches, Viceroy's and Bailey's and political hunches, Democrats..Kennedys, Michelle and Barack...Liza and Judy and comic Chris Rock.

Refrain

St. Patrick and shamrocks bring Rene a big smile..those things that come from the Emerald Isle. "Holy crap, not so much, oh for God's sake. Door County apple crisp all she would bake.

Not bad for an obituary, eh? She sounds like a hell of a woman and one I would have loved to have been around.
