Abstract
On the day that my wife and I left for what turned out to be our final visit with Bill, I received a gift in the mail: a copy of Mrs. Hunter’s Happy Death: Lessons on Living from People Preparing to Die, by John Fanestil. It proved to be not only a poignant reflection that fit our mood as we were driving, but also an instructive witness to the Christian tradition’s wisdom about good, graceful and even “happy” practices of dying.
