Roserock Healthcare Hospice in Tulsa is honouring one of its patients by granting him a "final wish."
John Patrick Knapp is a 68-year-old Vietnam War Veteran. His wish is to have his picture taken in his military uniform so his family can have the photos forever and it was granted.

Whether your favourite song is AC DC's-Highway To Hell or Blue Oyster Cult's-Don't Fear The Reaper choosing what song you would like played at your celebration of life is so important. It helps people celebrate who you were and the music that was important to you.
Part of the reason I created Final Wish was so people could have a celebration that represented them. To create a slideshow with the photos and music you love will bring you peace of mind and will help your loved ones remember you the way you want to be remembered.
So the question is. What is your funeral playlist? If you are like me you will have a hard time choosing songs and my songs change weekly. So my advice would be to sit back and listen to some of your favourite songs and pick a few for your celebration.
Below is a great article from the New York Times on choosing your deathbed playlist. Give it a read if you have a chance.
