TheBanyanTree: annoying

[auntiesash]

​As you are working down to the $2000 mark, you can pre pay burial
expenses.  Just go wherever she'll end up.  Pay for the cremation or
whatever,  For mom, we prepaid for pastor, church, flowers, etc.​

One less thing to deal with later on & it comes out of her money.

Love you, sweetie.  This adulting shit sucks!
