Speaking Ill Of The Dead

Be careful what you do to people or you could end up like this obit that showed up this last weekend in the Vallejo Times-Herald.

The online obit was pulled, but it is apparently legit. The paper demanded a death certificate and an appearance by a blood relative before they would print it.

    If I had that many kids I'd be a bitch too.

    AweSOME. My friend's grandma merited, but did not receive, a similar obituary. Once she told my friend's mom, "Oh, Becky would be so pretty if she didn't have such thick lips." Which a. she doesn't, and b. uh, whatever, bitch.

    I strive to be remembered more fondly.

    Perhaps the obits aren't the best place to play out family psycho-drama. Just imagine how much contempt she generated if her family went to the trouble to publish their hate for her in this fashion. Immeasurable.

    I strive to be remembered at all, but I hope that I don't engender this much virtiol from my "loved ones".
