What stars want written on their epitaphs
Since it’s All Souls’ Day, have you ever wondered what you would want to be written on your epitaph? Pardon the morbid question, but we all have to go eventually. So we might as well make our “final word” worth remembering.
I always kid my friends and tell them that when I die, I want to be cremated and my ashes must be placed inside a vodka bottle so I will still be partying with them even when I’m gone. As for my tombstone, I’d like it to read: “A woman who lived with no regrets and loved with no reservations.”
As we pause in prayer for our dearly departed, let us make sure that we are truly living it up, so our death will be a celebration of a life well-lived, of being well-loved.
OGIE ALCASID: “Death is a continuation of life. As we complete our journey towards meeting our Creator, our soul rejoices.”
MARTIN NIEVERA: “This is the last time you’ll step on me” or “Hey I can see your house from here” or “Forever begins today.”
DENNIS TRILLO: “Hate is a baggage. Life is too short to be pissed off all the time.”
