The. Best. Obituary. Ever.

The greatest obituary ever. Remember, your kids will likely get the last word.

Wow. That is really, really sad. I have not spoken to my father in nearly 20 years and I would never imagine writing something like that, even if it is deserved.

I cut and paste it this morning to another message board. Here it is. If I'm breaking a law, remove it and I'll endure the customary 20 lashes:

Dolores Aguilar

1929 - Aug. 7, 2008

Dolores Aguilar, born in 1929 in New Mexico, left us on August 7, 2008. She will be met in the afterlife by her husband, Raymond, her son, Paul Jr., and daughter, Ruby.

She is survived by her daughters Marietta, Mitzi, Stella, Beatrice, Virginia and Ramona, and son Billy; grandchildren, Donnelle, Joe, Mitzie, Maria, Mario, Marty, Tynette, Tania, Leta, Alexandria, Tommy, Billy, Mathew, Raymond, Kenny, Javier, Lisa, Ashlie and Michael; great-grandchildren, Brendan, Joseph, Karissa, Jacob, Delaney, Shawn, Cienna, Bailey, Christian, Andre Jr., Andrea, Keith, Saeed, Nujaymah, Salma, Merissa, Emily, Jayci, Isabella, Samantha and Emily. I apologize if I missed anyone.

Dolores had no hobbies, made no contribution to society and rarely shared a kind word or deed in her life. I speak for the majority of her family when I say her presence will not be missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will be no lamenting over her passing.

Her family will remember Dolores and amongst ourselves we will remember her in our own way, which were mostly sad and troubling times throughout the years. We may have some fond memories of her and perhaps we will think of those times too. But I truly believe at the end of the day ALL of us will really only miss what we never had, a good and kind mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I hope she is finally at peace with herself. As for the rest of us left behind, I hope this is the beginning of a time of healing and learning to be a family again.

There will be no service, no prayers and no closure for the family she spent a lifetime tearing apart. We cannot come together in the end to see to it that her grandchildren and great-grandchildren can say their goodbyes. So I say here for all of us, GOOD BYE, MOM.

The Brits really know how to write obits.

[JesseMartin]

Was there one in particular you were wanting us to see?

[Guest JohnDenver]

Was there one in particular you were wanting us to see?

How about this one?

"An extravagant host of homosexual orgies"

[JesseMartin]

That's also awesome.

Ever wonder what your own obituary would be? Very few people have ever known me for more than 5 consecutive years so I don't know that mine would say much.

I've always wondered what the title "Count" means. ...now I know it means "hosts homosexual orgies". This board is very educational.
