About This Quote
Once we are dead, we are completely stripped of all that makes us who we are. We are no longer the people we were in life, because once we are dead there is no way to be brought back to life. Once dead, our friends and family can only see the person they knew before death, not the person they really are. This is why it is so important to make sure you are who you want your friends and family to remember you as.
