Why You Should Write Your Own Obit

Bonnie, age 68, of Hot Springs, died Saturday. Besides the standard born on, daughter of, married to, survived by info, this was the only line that told who she was and what she did with her life.

"Bonnie collected angels and enjoyed watching her afternoon stories."

It didn't even have something like "member of the St. Jimmy Goad Missionary Baptist Church." Good Grief! Was this woman a bigger introvert than me? She was survived by three sons, three daughters, seventeen grandchildren, one brother and six sisters.

Could not one person among them come up with something more imaginative to write in her obituary?
