Over the past year or so, in the Columbia, SC newspaper, I’ve noticed that a few people wrote their own obituaries. One was amusing and made you wish you had known the guy. Most of the others were tedious and very much of “wasn’t I wonderful, and envy my life” types.

And just about every man in the US is a professional football coach.

I wrote my own obit last year but now that I’m reading Earl’s style I’m re-doing mine. Thanks Earl……………

Like when you used to write a resume for a job.

Does anyone know what Earl’s E-Mail address might be? I’d like to get in touch with him.

Earl, don’t forget to mention that you were in the Red Hat Society too.

If you’re gone who cares what it says!
Wouldn’t that be a bad omen to write your own obituary?

Haha jtpozenel! I wonder whoever do you mean? ;-) I bet the lengthy and wordy post will be fully copied right here.

I would not write something on the obituary before I die. Forget it! I will let one of my brothers and sisters to do that after I die anyway.

I may have to write my own obit. I would hate to leave my family with the onerous task of having to come up with anything good to say about me. XD
