Wow that's messed up. When people came to my Dad's wake I couldn't thank them enough. One guy worked with my dad years earlier and neither me nor my mother had even heard his name mentioned before.
For normal people, it's a great comfort to see many people attend the wake and say nice things about your loved one. The obituary is printed to get people who have lost touch to attend the funeral. Why else would the family pay for an obituary? ************************************************************************ Right Wing Mike http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingmike Bigfoot Hates Obama http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingmike/5690856 I Wish Hillary had married OJ http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingmike/4236924 --- On Thu, 8/7/08, Pete Theisen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > From: Pete Theisen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [OT] "You are a sick dude" > To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> > Date: Thursday, August 7, 2008, 8:32 PM > Hi Everybody! > > I read the whole paper every day, nothing much else I am > capable of any > more.
