He paid extra to lay asleep in a casket seventy years before his reservation was made.

I want to tell you about a seventeen year old boy named Jeff. He was born in the outskirts of Tucson, Arizona in a nice house. His mom and dad soon divorced and went their separate ways. His mom moved to Portland, Oregon and the dad had the kids in Tucson. His two older sisters soon moved out and his dad fell in love with the woman next door.

He got himself to school everyday and made pretty good grades. He started playing the electric guitar and would sit and play with the songs on the radio. He reminds me of you guys- always looking for a good time. Before his junior year in high school, he decided to move to Portland with his mom and her new husband. Jeff is pretty amazing. He was an all- star athlete. He played quarterback for the football team and baseball in the summer. He had dreams of becoming a doctor and making something of himself. His goals in life were amazing. He rally could make something great with his life. Nothing seemed to be stopping him. Like a ship, he was full speed ahead in life.
