I especially love this sentence '....possessed an amiable disposition which had endeared her to the hearts of many' what a wonderful accolade.Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14090018804016223955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-76925420796788755432012-05-06T19:47:16.740-04:002012-05-06T19:47:16.740-04:00She was young and I guess I just thought everyone ...She was young and I guess I just thought everyone was old when they passed away. I keep forgetting about William Isaac. It is funny that there is the "e" on the end of Jollett.

You don't read that sort of thing much today, at least not in the larger newspapers. <br /><br />Despite the fact that some of my students thought writing obituaries was "gruesome," the obit unit was one of my favorites to teach. I taught (and prefer) the obits that read like profiles and really paint a picture of what the person was like.<br /><br />Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272293468239097754noreply@blogger.com
