My 80-year-old father died today of chronic, age-related renal failure.
To honor his memory, my mom asks that everyone wear socks, shave off any facial hair they may have, and pull up their pants.

3. Tell her that I have complied with one exception. I did not shave
because I have no beard since I am a woman.

My condolences to you and your family.

I take it your father wore his pants nipple high.

Take care and remember the good times.

7. I'm sorry for your loss
I always wear socks, shave everyday, and am constantly pulling up my pants, so I guess I got that covered! I also have a small garden chapel on my property and will say a prayer for him.
