Camish, Nan

MARSTONS MILLS -

Nan loved light and the iridescent colors revealed in refractions and reflections. She enjoyed the brightness of polished metals, the rich colors of wet beach pebbles and the brilliance of precious stones. She became a silversmith and set the stones she loved in bezels of silver on eccentrically shaped pins and pendants

yeah...it made me wonder why people would always just pick the boring fill-in-the-blank ones...
i mean i know people are grieving and there's a time limit...but plenty of people also know they're going to die ahead of time too. it seems like a strange time to be so unoriginal!
(if you don't read them EVER ever, for example they usually are like: Joe Smith died unexpectedly on August 1. he is survived by his beloved wife ann. he enjoyed sailling and fishing on cape cod. Joe worked for 12 years at the hospital.

BO-RING. i don't get it.
