Love, honor, obey: Wife Slyly Submits to Dying Wish
Sometimes you can take it with you. Many have vowed to take several things literally and figuratively to the grave. Oftentimes the literal farewell send-offs revolve around money or valuables. Some valuables are sent along with sweet sentiment, while others are sent with ulterior intent.
The story of one witty widow reveals a plot to turn the tables on a greedy, grumpy hubby. He spent a lifetime working hard for his money, and grew to love it more than anything. His dying demanding wish was for his wife to have all his money buried with him when he died. ‘When I die I want you to take all my money and place it in the casket. I want to take all my money with me to the afterlife’, she recalls his final request.
Being a Christian and keeping to her promise, she did just as he commanded. She took all of his money, placed it into her account, and wrote a check for the full amount in his name. She placed the check inside a shoe box and had the box placed in his casket. ‘I promised him that I was to put that money in that casket with him.’ The words were whispered aloud as the devout Christian remained loyal to both her husband and integrity.
This proves that you really can write a check that just can’t be cashed.
