I have for years...I can so identify with this post. I have for years (even as a young adult) read obituaries. There must have been a budding genealogist in me many years ago.<br /><br />My mother passed just before I started my research. For some reason it just seemed important to include the details of her life, her family, her character. Some of that came from her requesting over and over again through the years that certain things were to be included in her obituary.<br /><br />Being a family historian, I do want my obituary to contain certain information. I have asked my family several times about details of my family, like "Where was I born?", "What was my mother's maiden name?". I grew up knowing these things about my parents, yet my own children don't seem to really know everything I would like them to know when it comes to paying their last respects through my obituary.<br /><br />Guess I will have to write my own! lolNira Porter Chamblisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706516896766496831noreply@blogger.com
