SPEAKING TESTIMONIAL
Dear Ms. Rubin,
I just wanted to thank you so much for your wonderful presentation to my CNM Death & Dying class. You covered a great deal of information in 90 minutes. The students particularly enjoyed your video clips from various movies depicting different aspects of the funeral planning process.
You talked about the subject with such an artful blend of respect and whimsy, responsibility and honor, and finally, an invitation to abandon the tired and traditional while creatively expressing the celebration of our loved ones.
The students came away with some creative alternatives that I am sure they will incorporate in their Planning Your Own Funeral assignment. Thank you again for an enlightening and entertaining 90 minutes. I will be enthusiastically recommending you to our other instructors of our Death & Dying classes at CNM.
Sincerely yours,
Kristin L. Roush, Ph.D.
