Carla’s Final Video
(from the YouTube description) Carla Zilber-Smith died May 21st, 2010 of ALS, but at her funeral, she had one final surprise: a video that she had kept secret for over a year, even from her own family, that brought the audience (because of course her funeral had an audience) to laughter, tears, etc.
If you want to read more about Carla, go to carlamuses.blogspot.com, where she blogged for several years. Carla is the subject of the upcoming documentary “Leave Them Laughing: A Musical Comedy About Dying,” which you can find out about at leavethemlaughingfilm.com.

I wonder if, in this age of personal publishing, more people will be producing videos like this in their last days.
(Still, I liked her video better than I would like most, I bet…)

I really urge you all to watch the video. She is hilarious. How everyone must have loved her. RIP, Carla.
