Thanks for your thoughts. At 70 this a something I do not want to do again. There are a couple of errors in obit. I graduated from BGSU in June 58. A updated version may be forwarded from the funeral home. Second page of my Obit was not included in their version. All the kids are here. There is no situation I can imagine where one feels so helpless while watching a stroke victim depart. My two oldest girls were with here when she departed.
