“If you must bury something let it be my faults, my weaknesses and all the prejudice against my fellow man. If by chance you wish to remember me, do it with a kind word to someone who needs you. If you do all I have asked I will live forever.” – Robert Nest – See more at: http://www.wietingfuneralhome.com/obituaries/caroline-k-wood/#sthash.4M3osUqS.dpuf
