Comments or opinions - anyone?
I like it. The plain truth. Like for many fathers and mothers on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, they will get “Happy Abandonment Day” wishes.
The mother broke a commandment, so her children decided to break one, too. Two wrongs don’t make a right.
Must read!
Articles like this only reinforce my belief that my siblings and I were so lucky to have our mom.
This type of obit speaks more about the character of the authors than the deceased.
You can put in whatever you want to pay for and the deceased has little power to stop it, unless they prepay for their own obit.
Our local fishwrap decribes it as part of a new trend in obit writing to teach a life lesson to those tempted to go down the same sorry path.
Truth in advertising........................
The Truth will stand until the Day of Judgment
Wow. The kids were obviously hurt by her actions but we’re all called to forgive those who’ve harmed us. I’m not one to cheer airing a family’s dirty laundry. Someone should remind the kids that not only she will face judgement. We all will.
I wonder who is going to write Lyle Dehmlow’s Obituary?
Yes. Thought of this as well. Now they will have to live with their own sin. A lesson for us all.
Good to know she wasn’t an aspiring Rapper who was turning her life around.
Whoever wrote that obit has a big problem and needs to get their own mental health in order. Living in the past is no excuse for present behavior. Whatever wrong this woman did is now being addressed by God. Those who feel cheated or wronged by her need to heal themselves for when they too will meet their maker.
Not much to honor with someone who dishonored her marriage vows and provided an affirmative answer to the Prophet Isaiah's question "can a woman forget her child?"
why didn’t their father step up and raise them and did they or will they run the same obit for him? or is it just her they hold to this standard?
Revenge is a dish best served cold, like her skeleton in the cold Minnesota ground next winter. You DONT abandon kids. They paid her back
The ancients got there first with the aphorism of (in Latin) “De mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est”, [”Of the dead nothing but good is to be said”], but in this case, with the obit being written by the most innocent involved, her abandoned children, one wonders what good there was to be said here! Note the lack of mention about their Father, their Uncle and their step-sibling. More than a little dysfunctional family dynamics appear to be at work.
It’s not luck, it’s blessing.
I dont mind this obit.
