I want to see my mother and family again.Friends and those I knew when I was younger that have passed on. I wa told by a relative that she will wait for me.

I bought this book at a garage sale: "871 Famous Last Words." It has the last words uttered by famous people.

Examples:

Winston Churchill: "Oh, I am so bored with it all."

Elizabeth Barret Browning: "Beautiful."
