"Hold On to Your Fork!"

(This is not an original story of mine, but I'm sharing because I like it!)  I heard a story sometime ago about Aunt Gloria.  Seems she called the preacher over to discuss her funeral arrangements.  Firmly, she informed him that she wanted to be buried with her bible in one hand and a fork in the other.  Puzzled, he said, "Well, I understand your reason for the bible, but why the fork?"  Calmly she told him, "When I was a little girl, Mama would set us all down to Sunday dinner and we would eat 'till we surely couldn't hold dessert.  Then mama would take our plates, but she would always tell us, "Hold On To your fork!" We knew then,"the best was yet to come!" ( Aunt Gloria was holding a fork when they buried her)
