I think if I lived in a smaller community and was related to the bulk of my community, I'd read them regularly.

My Grandparents read them, and I think have for awhile.

It's interesting to read them and see the connections to teh various families. In Grand Rapids, I'm related to nearly everyone somehow.

i read the death notices and obits from my hometown newspaper EVERY SINGLE DAY.

i am weird. i have come to grips with this fact[8D]



Isable01 -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (7/31/2008 2:05:40 AM)

Dear Christie,
I have read the obits, daily since Nursing School. I read the Funny papers first then the obits, then the front page and travel section

I knit and am attempting to learn chrochet[:)]

Sometimes I learn surprising things when I read an obit. For instance, I didn't know that Isaac Hayes was into Scientology.

stamper_ben -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/11/2008 12:15:38 PM)

Will someone let me know when they come across my obit?



christsstar -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/11/2008 12:51:47 PM)

Sure thing. YOu want me to email it to you? Or just read it in a prayer and have God deliver the message?



stamper_ben -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/11/2008 1:01:29 PM)

Wouldn't hurt to cover both bases...

Might want to PM me here too!



christsstar -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/11/2008 1:58:01 PM)

Will do Ben.



stamper_ben -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/11/2008 3:20:54 PM)

I'll be sure to return the favor.[8D]



christsstar -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/11/2008 4:39:35 PM)

thanks.
I hope, though, you'll beat me to the punch since you are significantly older than me.



stamper_ben -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/11/2008 4:48:06 PM)

Well....

Gee whiz....

That makes me feel just....









Wonderful?



christsstar -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/11/2008 4:57:31 PM)

Just stating the facts.

Just stating the facts.

If I live to the same age as my granddad, you'll only be a mere 76 when I pass away.



christsstar -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/11/2008 5:21:21 PM)

If I live to teh same age as my grand-dad, I'll still be alive and kicking at 88, or 89 if I live as old as Gramma.



JimboFletch -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/11/2008 5:36:45 PM)

My grandpa was 103, still in his right mind and still very active.

that's awesome!!!



momma_bee -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/12/2008 9:47:24 AM)

I'm not in my right mind now...

The fellow who built our house 50 years ago passed away this week. If I didn't read obits, I'd know nothing about the man except his name and that the men in the family are SHORT. (I bump my head going into the basement)



momma_bee -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/14/2008 2:36:30 PM)

Ben - after hearing the story, aren't you glad that I read obits????

I bet you are!



JimboFletch -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/14/2008 3:08:40 PM)

I've notice quite a few people 50 and under have died recently.

It makes me feel a little better knowing that I've lived past that dangerous age group.

I once rented a place that was built for a "height challenged" person... Didn't have a basement, but I had to get on my knees to use the kitchen counters.

Your point dear lady?



JimboFletch -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/18/2008 5:47:50 PM)

I saw this on the obits at Yahoo today:

Former Kentucky Derby winner Genuine Risk, the only filly to finish in the top three in all three U.S. Triple Crown races, died on Monday aged 31.

That tells me two things: 1) We're a pretty strange society to include the death of a horse in the obits and 2) Being a lifelong vegetarian on gets a healthy horse just over 30 years. It's obvious that a little red meat in your diet has benefits!



garsyt -> RE: reading death notices/obits? (8/18/2008 11:08:04 PM)

I'm tired of missing funerals! I've missed two lately of pretty important individuals in my community!

I just bookmarked our local papers obit page and am committed to check it on a regular basis.

Blessings,

Garsy
