Some will not like this message, but I have to get it off my chest. Frosty lived life fully and was liked by many. The finish was not brilliant though.
Most of us are closer to our eventual death than our birth. Please, please, please, before you buy the next toy for your shack, please buy burial insurance, or make the necessary financial arrangements so that when that time inevitably comes, your significant other, children or other family members are not burdened with your burial expenses, which may put tremendous financial hardship on them, or force them to pass the hat to bury you. We are all adults, we should take care of our responsibilities, until we are 6 feet under. 73 Tony k5DEV On Sat, Mar 7, 2015 at 5:13 PM, David Barber via BVARC <[email protected]> wrote: > Amen! > > Sent from my new iPad > [email protected] or [email protected] > > On Mar 6, 2015, at 2:26 PM, Rick Hiller via BVARC <[email protected]> wrote: > > Yep!
