Thread Name: BS: Your Obituary
Subject: RE: BS: Your Obituary
I like to read obits... Oh, no, not the ones that have deen written by a funeral home director or, in most cases, family members but the ones that have been written by real obit journalists... These obits don't dwell on the biological stuff as much as the accomplishments of the deceases... How many kids and by whom is for tabloids... I want to know what folks did and what folks left... The rest is like gossip...

Jus' my opinion...

BTW, I have a cut out obits from newspspares over the years of folks who left behind real stories...War heros... Boxers who almost made it... Women who fought the good fight... Etc..., Etc..., If one ever wnats to understand what "life is all about", I'd suggest findin' a newspaper with a good obit department...

Like I said, jus' my opinion...
