What if before the man died he made his peace with God and is now in His arms while God’s wrath is now focused on the drafters of the cruel and heartless obit?
I hope he did make his peace with God. In any case, it’s in God’s hands. I believe that God would also understand such an obit, even if it’s wrong. They now, however, must move on and forgive, which is probably only now possible, since the obviously nasty man is dead.
