Thanks Girlsinmo.
Michelle, I don't think it's morbid at all - it means your service will be as you want it to be for your friends and family to "enjoy" the sense of YOU as a person. (I hope you get what I mean - celebrating your life in recognising the loss, but in a good way). I hope that doesn't offend the way I've written it (cos I know what I mean but it often doesn't come across in writing).
I had a thought last night, as our wedding anniversary is this weekend. I DIDn't have my quiet early night last night, as DH got to the airport and realised he had DD's passport. So instead of the 6pm last night flight, we had to book a new flight last night, arrange food for him too (I had plans for mucky dinners of leftovers for DD and I, but that doesn't work for him, so curry from the freezer as the only thing available), deal with the travel sickness when he got in (from trying to do flt booking over internet on his mobile on the bus from the airport), book a taxi for this morning, wave him out to the office to PRINT his new ticket (no printer at home) and collect more business cards, get DD asleep (too excited by Daddy turning up again!), and then deal with someone too hyped to sleep, and then awake and messing with his blackberry at VERY stupid O'clock this morning! before waking me AGAIN as he got up at 4am. He got a 6.25am flight and DID make it to the conference on time!
Sorry, I digressed. I had a thought of trying to make a passport cover and luggage tags and ticket holder for him. I used to have a leather one for when I used to travel a lot but it's missing somewhere. But as he keeps DD's passport in the same drawer as his (and he was seriously overtired this week anyway - hence the mixup), it would help him grab his in a hurry. And he is doing a lot more travel anyway these days. So I might see if I have some suitable fabrics in my stash to work on it tonight.

Hmm...I guess you can't attach pictures directly to your post here.
