Why even publish an obituary?

Xanax is anti-anxiety not an anti-depressant. But it is too much to expect urinalists to get the correct facts.

Perhaps I’m an outlier, but personally I think the parents can write anything they want and others should leave them alone. Whatever mistakes they made, an obituary isn’t the place to publicly apologize for them. Others should mind their own business and let them grieve.

They actually published an obituary.

I checked legacy.com and, yep, it used to be there.

I wonder if it said, “he was preceded in death by his sister Megan”?

It just goes to show, sometimes people see only what they want to see.

We never want to believe the worst about our loved ones.

Her parents posted an obituary for her under the name of Megan Betts.

Haven’t found one for “Jordan Cofer” yet.

Death is private. Murder is Public. This person was a mass murderer. If the parents want to lie about him by omission in their stupid obit. fine We the public can make up an alternate obit with a bit more honesty. His wiki entry will not be emphasizing that he was a bleeping boy scout.

These people need to be sterilized and kept away from children. Raises one as a tranny and the other as a pscycopathic murderer and worshiping satanist, but what a nice smile and could make you laugh....when he wasn’t shooting at you!

Most funeral home obits say nothing about the deceased’s negative moments. That’s considered bad form. You woudn’t see:

“Joseph Bates Arsehole, 25, died on August 15. He was a foul, racist man of hate who abused puppies and raped women. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to...”

A media obituary, on the other hand, would report what was newsworthy about the person whether good or bad.

There’s no “E” at the end of “Bellbrook”.

I read alcohol, cocaine and Xanax, didn’t hear anything about anti-depressants.

If the victims responded by killing the parents I would have to acquit. Maybe that’s what’s really needed to stop the problem - all these shooters have been made crazy by the parents. Decent families don’t produce mass killers.

In some places, it is required (presumably in the county’s paper of record for claims against the estate).
