"SHAME ON YOU....."
"it is not fair to the families not to be able to have an obituary put in the paper without being charged for it.."

"My father recently passed away on 1-10-01, I found it very disrespectful that my grandparents name, his parents were not allowed in his obit. Unless my siblings and I PAID for it. What a society we live in, when a person that dies can not have the respect"
