“Caskets are ugly. If I had it in me, I’d start a casket company making contemporary, sleek, tasteful caskets. Think a house in Malibu…with handles. We ended up picking a light blue casket for my mom. My sister and I weren’t crazy about it, but It matched my mom’s dress. The handles matched her silver shoes. And that, alone, would have made my mom very happy.” – From “Day 13” of 14 DAYS – A MEMOIR

I fist-bumped her casket when I passed it for the final time and said, “See ya later, Millie Goich”.
