Life and Death

I hear the stories I read them too about calm, tranquil deaths as heavenward angels take their last breaths… ‘She entered the next world surrounded by her nearest and dearest holding hands with her beloved husband of 57 years a smile of serenity overspreading her face…’ Aaaaargh!

Personally, I'd like to make some new friends. Will it be a new adventure, or a rerun of life lived?
