I live in NW MO--and the biggest newspaper is the NewsPress. I have
noticed a big change in the obituaries--before they were so formal. I
realize this is a strange post for the FML. But one of the most dramatic
one was a post for a nurse who had died of throat and tongue cancer.
Along with the survivors--it also mentioned the ones who had preceded her.
It said she was preceded by many pets who were waiting for her at the
Rainbow Bridge. Wow--what a wonderful sight to see-even in the saddest
of times--someone thought enough to mention that to the funeral director
who writes up the obits. If you want to see it--I think it is online at
www.stjoelive.com and click on newspress for February 6, 2002.
