I wondered about the father, too. There could be a LOT more to this story.
Yes. As I listened to Meghan Markle promising to love , cherish, etc, till death do you part’ All I could think about was ‘She has promised this at least once and maybe twice already. Why would anyone believe her’?
Could be appended to all obituaries.
The obit OK with me. I’m figuring it could’ve gone into great detail and been much worse. They probably showed restraint.
It can always be worse.
They could have been the ones picking out her old folks home instead of writing her obit.
I am sorry for your loss.
She got married at 19.
Had two kids shortly thereafter.
When she was 24 she got pregnant by her husband’s brother.
According to her two original kids she abandoned them.
She died last week at the age of 80 and her first two children, who should now be somewhere around 57-62, are glad she’s dead.
Harsh.
she seems like a nice woman
I am so sorry to hear about your mother. She sounds like she was a wonderful woman. ((Hugs))
sounds like it contains the details she likely left out of the Christmas letter. d;^)
I may have missed something. . .but where is the father in all of this? Perhaps there is more to the story.
Ping for later.
I must again post the humorous obituary my friend Lou wrote for himself, just prior to dying. It was read on “Car Talk” by Click & Clack. He was a retired professor.
LEWISBURG - Louis J. Casimir Jr. bought the farm Thursday, Feb. 5, 2004, having lived more than twice as long as he had expected and probably three or four times as long as he deserved.
Although he was born into an impecunious family, in a backward and benighted part of the country at the beginning of the Great Depression, he never in his life suffered any real hardships.
Many of his childhood friends who weren’t killed or maimed in various wars became petty criminals, prostitutes, and/or Republicans.
He survived three years overseas in an infantry regiment in excellent health, then university for four years on the GI bill, and never thereafter had to do an honest day’s work.
He was loved by good women, had loyal friends, and all his children were healthy, handsome and bright.
For more than six decades, he smoked, drank and ate lots of animal fat, but never had a serious illness or injury.
His last wish was that everyone could be as lucky as he had been, even through his demise was iotrogenic.
Lou was a daredevil: his last words were “Watch this!”
A memorial service and barbecue will be held on Labor Day at Lou’s place.
****I wondered about the father, too. There could be a LOT more to this story.*****
The woman’s parents raised the two granddaughters - I expect they are no longer alive to witness this family tragedy.
“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.”
Bull crap. We do not need to take abandonment laying down. Call ‘em like you see ‘em.
As we met, talked and shared memories, each of us were convinced that we were Mom's favorite. That takes some exceptional parenting!
