The Five Remembrances
1. I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.
2. I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape ill
health.
3. I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.
4. All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change.
There is no way to escape being separated from them.
5. My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences
of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.
There will be a memorial service at a later date. Cremation will take place.
Lakeview Funeral Home and Crematory, 247 W. Johnson Road, La Porte, IN is
caring for the arrangements.
