Everyone has one life to live, a born date and a death date, a beginning and an end.  How people spend that time between the dates is due to circumstances can, at times, be beyond one’s control.  Some people start fending for themselves at an early age while others are able to have the elements in place to do so later.  While the components of people should be taken into consideration when it comes to how one chooses to go about their lives, the one element that can be controlled is how people choose to commemorate them, how people choose to honor them and how people choose to recognize their accomplishments.
