sullivan county, pa:

"I have been wearing overalls most of the time for the last 20 years of my life, and do not expect to be buried in silk socks, pat leather shoes, silk shirt, tie and elaborate suit. A pair of clean overalls, clean shirt etc is all that I want and expect, and do not buy a lot of flowers to decorate my grave, if you could not buy any flowers for me while I was alive and could appreciate them, do not buy any now when I cannot see and appreciate them."

That's great. His grouchiness is endearing.

Your mom has been wearing overalls most of the time for the last 20 years of her life, and does not expect to be buried in silk socks, pat leather shoes, silk shirt, tie and elaborate suit. A pair of clean overalls, clean shirt etc is all that your mom wants and expects, and do not buy a lot of flowers to decorate her grave, if you could not buy any flowers for her while she was alive and could appreciate them, do not buy any now when she cannot see and appreciate them.
