Do we know who wrote the obits for The Vidette? You certainly never read such heart felt sympathy and caring in today's news!

Yes, I've noticed that in the old days those who wrote obits did so in such a respectful, almost poetic, manner. Families and communities were so much more close-knit back then than they are today and that is to our shame. I cringe over the dreadful grammar in today's newspapers, and especially over the callousness of today's obituaries.
