I'm quite sure that is the reason, Kat, but she's still the Mother of his children. I rarely see it reversed in that the husband isn't mentioned. Just a pet peeve of mine.

Like Your & Ebbie's five mentions.

I think the mention may be left out in the case of an acrimonious divorce, infidelity, etc.

1) Love of Family
2) Love of All Creatures
3) Compassion
4) Love of Music
5) Gratefullness

Hmmmm. I've never noticed that, Mickey.

What five things would I like mentioned?

1. Zest for life- as long as I wanted to live
2. Reveling in music
3. An appreciation of the aromas of the earth around me
4. An appreciation of beauty in whatever vehicle it was held
5. That I *tried*

Just reading some obits & wonder why some pertinent info. is very often left out. The most often omitted is the name of the mother of the deceased man's children.

John Jones died leaving his second wife whom he married yesterday. Also grieving are his children, Shania, Danielle, Hortense, Brigette, Minerva, Anastasia, Gwendolyn, Eurydice and Joe.

Were these children delivered by the stork? Found in the rushes? Dropped from Heaven? Delivered by FedEx?
It irks me!

What five or so things would you want mentioned in your obit?
