Exactly. Somebody posted on my blog with this:

“As someone who not only worked with Loretta Fuddy, but also mourned her loss and paid my respects to her family at the funeral service where this shameless picture is purported to have been taken, all I can say is that the memory of a wonderful woman is being disgraced by feckless, soulless, disrespectful, and unscrupulous morons like yourselves.

The state of Hawaii lost a champion of the vulnerable among us. Her death was a tragedy. And the remembrance ceremony for her drew hundreds. I was there. I saw her resting in peace. I wept for her.

This speculation of yours about her arms and caskets is not only wildly off-base but it is idiotic. It is pathetic. I wouldn’t wish this kind of cruelty on my worst enemy, but for you to do this to a woman I respect makes me realize that there is evil in this world, and it comes directly from people like you and all the ones just like you, who stand in superior moral judgement of others while exhibiting the most vile, malicious, and hateful behavior.”

I responded with 2 different posts:

First: “Why did KITV photoshop in an image of the casket with the hands folded?

And then:
“Also, what shameless picture are you talking about? The Honolulu Diocese picture? The kitv photoshop of the hands in the casket? Which picture is shamelsss and what makes it shameless?

I’m sure Loretta was much loved and I mean no disrespect to anyone. I just want to know the truth.”

This person had the time to call me lovely names but not the time to tell me which photo so incensed him. Which photo was he thinking was wrong/shameless? If he saw her there, why not explain the images rather than call me every name in the book? I’ve gotten no response. Just as you said, you would ignore the questions asked.

And I know for a fact that the people on that plane know a HECKUVA lot more than they are willing to tell. For. A. Fact.
