A life in review.
If you could write your own obituary, what would you say?

	Well, d.v., "Rev. Ruth Morgenstern Sayers died yesterday after a brief illness. She was 99. She is survived by her husband, four children, and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Funeral services are scheduled for Saturday at the UU church." Or do I have to write one for what's already happened? (Reply to this)(Thread)

No mention of any accomplishments? I've read many obits that talked of service records, educational degrees, professional victories, that kind of thing. Although, four generations of family alive is an accomplishment in itself.

The choice is yours. I'm curious to know how people view their lives and the things they want to accomplish. An obituary sums it up, even if it's a little early in most cases.

	Then I'd just throw in 'retired chaplain and author of Counseling, Confessions, and Capes: Pastoral Care in the Superhuman Community' and be pretty satisfied. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The world, mortal and immortal, mourned the loss of Nevell CEO and Avenger Vernique Denning this morning. She was a loving mother and friend, a fantastic date, and the most gorgeous technical-princess-of-Asgard to ever be mistaken for a dwarf. (Reply to this)

	Mason Jeffries is best remembered for his contributions to marriage equality in Canada, being the foremost champion for the protection of Human/Atlantean marital rights under the law. He is also known for being the first man to ever simultaneously punch out a shark and drink an entire peanut butter milkshake while doing a triple back-flip on a dirtbike. (Reply to this)

	Minnie Howard died yesterday of undetermined causes. The Memorial service will be entirely private. She will be missed. That being an accurate obituary would be all I could ever dream for. (Reply to this)
