Goan Funeral.....


A family in Moira, Goa was puzzled when the coffin of their dead mother Virginia arrived from Canada.
It was sent by one of the daughters. The dead body was very tightly squeezed inside the coffin, with no
space left in it.
When they opened the lid, they found a letter on top addressed to her brothers and sisters: "Dear Caitan, Consu, Clara and Flory, I am sending Mom's body to you, since it was her wish that she should be buried in the Moira Cemetry in Goa.
Sorry, I could not come along as all of my paid leave is consumed.
You will find inside the coffin, under her body, cans of cheese, 10 packets of Tobler chocolates and 8 packets of Wrigley gum. Please divide these among all of you.
On mom's feet, you will find a new pair of Reebok shoes (size 10) for Caitan. There are also 2 pairs of shoes for Botu and Lydia's sons. Hope the sizes are correct.
Mother is wearing 6 American T-Shirts. The large size is for Peter. Just distribute the rest among yourselves.
The 2 new Jeans that she is wearing are for the boys.
The Swiss watch that Maria wanted is on mom's left wrist.
Flory, mom is wearing the necklace, earrings and ring that you asked for. Please take them off her.
The 6 white cotton socks that mummy is wearing must be divided among my nephews.
Please distribute all these fairly.
Love Rosana".
PS: 'If anything more required let me know soon, as uncle Mario is also not feeling too well these days".
