Reaction Post to Lines/Phrases from Today’s Obituaries

“In lieu of flowers, please donate to the charity of your choice.”

– I honestly don’t know which use of money is more worthless these days.

Keywords from one poor lady’s obituary: active member, served, nearly every way possible, invested, (another) active, zest, dedication to social justice, quality time.

– Way to sh!t on regular members (the rest of us) and whatever other type of time (god) there is.

One poor man’s: loved to be social, never met a stranger, always smiling and laughing.

– impossible

Another poor lady’s: enjoyed motorcycling, skiing, traveling, camping and boating in Puget Sound.

– she enjoyed all that only in Puget Sound? Or just the boating?

Lady: married a GM designer, raised her family, always involved with her church and in the community, excellent seamstress, creative and enthusiastic spirit.

– been a Ford guy myself (Hyundai and Toyota too), what is a seamstress in our day? Is it racist?

Lady: teacher at heart, loved volunteering in special education classes

– we can stop right there. This lady (or the writer) was a topper. How can I possibly compete with someone who loves working with specials?

Lady: (be sitting) married x in ‘68 and divorced in ‘99 and she remained single and happy until her passing, greatest love was her dogs, expert roller skater, fantastic seamstress, gifted mathematics student, donate her remains, and [she] would love it if you…

– was she not happy during the marriage? Or was she always happy, no matter her marital status? Dogs? No wonder she got dumped. I need specifics to further qualify skating ability claim, ie what age? What is a seamstress? We talking pre-Independence home-spun? She still getting kickbacks from body donation business? Why is that relevant? Lastly, do not, I mean never, talk to me like I am a child.
