Writing an obituary is a strange art form. It has to be accurate, dignified, and sometimes even a little funny. Some families list every single award and degree, while others just say, "He loved fishing and grandkids." Both are perfect.
Ever notice how today’s Evening Post obituaries often include a cheeky phrase? Like, "She finally gets to see what’s behind the horizon." Or, "He’ll be missed, but not by his neighbor’s barking dog." The honesty is refreshing, honestly.
