“Funerals are, of course, a time of sadness as we contemplate what will be missing from our lives. However, I ask that we also contemplate the love we share as family and friends. In that respect we should use the occasion to celebrate and be grateful for what we have. Our family has a motto that we have looked to for many years “Anything for a laugh”. I hope that you will look to this and use the occasion to remember the fun, humorous and enjoyable times that we all shared together.” – Clarence Kemp.
