At a holiday cookie exchange there was talk about older parents and people's last words. One woman said her father had a pretty good one upon reading about the death of his baby sister in the obituaries. He read the obit, then said...

The next day he curled up to sleep and died. 

Another final blurt by someone was...

i need sugar! true story

I made Mom this little pack of pear cards. When she died I took them and have carried them around with me ever since. Today I sat quietly, everyone was out! and asked -
