Writing Obituaries

I was telling my friend Leslie last night of my fear that his obituary will name only his wife and trying to anticipate what that might feel like someday. But then we decided that we needed to write our own obituaries. So we agreed that we need to be able to complete this:

She is survived by WHOM? And she was most proud of her work on WHAT? Her friends will remember her for her love of WHAT? But she most enjoyed WHAT? In our community she was appreciated for WHAT? All of her life she was deeply committed to WHAT?
