Funny, I've had this epitaph conversation with several people throughout the years. I have a good friend that proudly announced that her plaque (wherever it ends up being) would say "She loved cheap costume jewelry".

This is an interesting subject as it's a simple idea that sums up a life. I have no idea what mine would say if I were actually going to be buried. I once took the fire out of a heated discussion with a friend and coworker using this topic. He was going on and on, on his soapbox, about how important this one stupid point was to all of humanity and to his career and life...I stopped him and said "Pierre, do you really want them to put 'He was a good Planner" on your tombstone? Is that what defines you?" That shut him up fast and made him think a little bit. Of course I'm one of those that sees work as an accessory, not as a defining factor. So from his point of view I probably just sounded snotty.

I think I'd let someone else that knows me decide. That's my answer.
