Some people are just plain mean... I don’t doubt it for a second.
This is great! I’m trying to start a weird obit of the month at my office so this one is going on the refrigerator there.
Read the guest book.
Nothing on Snopes. Everything I found had the same dates. To be honest I’ve known a couple of people like this, so it could be genuine. I sympathize with the family if it is. These types are miserable beings whose only joy is making everyone else as miserable as them.
Geez.
She must have had at least one redeeming quality.
Talk about having the last word.
That’s horrible. It sounds like she did make a contribution to society, her 7 children who led to her grandchildren and great grandchildren. If it wasn’t for her existence, the children wouldn’t have been around to write this obituary.
classic
...and yet whenever anyone passes on, one hears how wonderful he/she was no matter what the flaws. Maybe this woman was truly evil. Still, I don’t know if I could have publically condemned someone in this way.

Obituray = Obituary
My apologies, I really know how to spell better than that.
Maybe that will be in my obit! ;-)
I have no words . . .
I have known people who deserve an obit like this, but just WOW.
I have severe, lifelong issues with my mother, and I doubt I’ll be overly disturbed by her passing. That said, I will attend her funeral, and I will be polite, and I will keep my thoughts to myself. I’m at peace with my childhood and see no value in publicly digging up a painful past.
I had an aunt like that. I can well believe it.
This obituary is classless, tasteless, and an ill-advised treatise; probably a psychobabbler’s remedy for a dysfunctional family’s “healing”. But..........I laughed and laughed and then I HAD to read the guestbook entries and laughed some more. GREAT STUFF!
Hey wait just a minute, my mother in law’s name wasn’t Dolores! (I am not joking here)
My MIL was a strange and difficult person and everything was always ALL about her. She would be medicated if she was still here.
My son’s newspaper writeup:
Jeremy A. Earnshaw, One Who Lived Life Well
Jeremy Austin Earnshaw, 23, of Fairbanks, went to be with Jesus on June 16th, 2008 after an accident off Snapper Point in Newcastle, Australia. Jeremy and a friend, Jesse Lee, were walking along rocks on Snapper Point when a rogue wave washed them into heavy seas. We praise God that Jesse was rescued in time, even though Jeremy was not. Our lives and the lives of Jeremy’s friends will be forever changed, as his gentle soul was taken from us much too soon. Although we miss him dearly, we marvel that such a young man could touchso many lives all around the world.
Jeremy was born to Darryl and Ruth Earnshaw on October 12, 1984. Jeremy lived on the same Fairbanks street all of his life. He attended kindergarten at
University Park, and then 1st-12th grade at Monroe, graduating in 2003. Special teachers that touched his life included Francine Mears, Chris Stepovich, and Sandy Walsh.
Jeremy attended Door of Hope Church and frequented Friends Church as well. He loved Jesus, as evidenced by his compelling desire to serve others. An extremely kind and compassionate person, his easy-going nature often broke down barriers that would otherwise have kept people apart. He lived his life on purpose andwith a genuine warmth which truly modeled the verse from Philippians 1:21 tattooed on his chest: “For me to live is Christ, to die is gain.”
During summers in Fairbanks or in between his trips back and forth from Australia, Jeremy worked at the Department of Transportation and Barnes and Noble. He was also a member of Public Employees Local 71.
Jeremy loved music, especially artists Keith Green and Jason Upton, and was a bass guitar player in a local band called “With Teeth “. Passionate about books, and particularly about authors C.S. Lewis, Francis Schaeffer, and Ken Follett, he enjoyed the classics, loved comics, and always had a book in his hand. Most recently he raved about “The Case for a Creator” by Lee Strobel or “No Little People” by Francis Schaeffer.
Jeremy’s heart was connected to Australia and its street youth, which took him across the ocean to Newcastle several times after high school graduation. Jeremy recently went on staff at Youth With a Mission ( HYPERLINK “http://www.ywamnow.com/"; www.ywamnow.com), working with youth in Newcastle on the Youth Street Skate Team. Jeremy encouraged the youth and enjoyed spending quality time with them, touching many, many lives with hope and encouragement during his short time on the YWAM staff.
In Australia, he loved spending time with his girlfriend Christina, hanging out at the local comic shop, meeting new friends, reading and eating Aussie meat pies. Jeremy had a real fondness for adventure and last year spent two months in Cairo, Egypt, working with YWAM in orphanages, Coptic churches, and new friends he met on the street. In August he was scheduled to participate in a YWAM outreach in Asia.
Jeremy’s circle of love and influence was wide. He and his family spent many years of fun together with the Meurlotts, Jeannets, Kurbers, Chrismans, and the Strattons of England. Tight bonds of family friendship were formed that will carry on for eternity.
Jeremy is survived by his parents, Darryl and Ruth Earnshaw, sister Samantha, nieces Jenna and Jacklyn, and nephew Hunter, his Australian girlfriend/financee, Christina Cupitt, and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins in the Lower 48.
Jeremy’s close friends greatly mourn his passing, including Chris Meurlott, Monika Kurber, Jared & Kristill Williams, Tyler & Leanna Williams, Jesse Lee, Daniel Norris, David Norris, Jordan Norris, Mike Freyberger, Steve Miller, Libby Maloney, Sarah Syvertson, Angel Peger, Barbie Keller, Marcy and Paige Compton, Liam Ward, EJ Skinner, Ephy Wheeler, Chad Wilson, Jason Hackenmiller, and a host of other friends both near and far away.
A tribute to Jeremy’s life will be held at Door of Hope Church on Friday, July 18th at 6:30 pm. There will be a potluck afterwards—bring something savory to share as he loved Indian, Italian, Thai, or Mexican food.
Some of Jeremy’s close friends and co-workers from Australia will be attending the July 18th service. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made out to the Jeremy Earnshaw Memorial Fund and mailed to 517 Longspur Loop, Fairbanks, AK, 99709.

I guess this proves that when you spend your life lying or hurting people, it comes back to haunt you.
Also, if you go to the Times-Hearld link under the headline and scroll to the bottom then click on the “View/Sign Guest Book” there are a couple of choice remarks there also.
Aaaack, that was brutal! I’m not so sure it’s a good idea to have done it in public like this.
A friend of mine had a mother like Ms. Aguilar, and there weren’t too many tears when she passed. They handled it by sending a short obit in the local paper, and then they all got together, family only, and had a let-it-all-out party.
