From the LVRJ: The publisher of the Reno Gazette-Journal said he was rethinking his newspaper’s paid obituary policy after someone submitted an obituary in which he or she accused a woman of child abuse and expressed happiness she had died.
Publisher John Maher pulled the paid obituary for Marianne Theresa Johnson-Reddick off the daily newspaper’s online edition Tuesday after receiving complaints. The obituary also appeared in the Tuesday print edition. No names of her children are included in the obituary, which states in part:
“She is survived by 6 of 8 children whom she spent her lifetime torturing in every way possible….On behalf of her children whom she so abrasively exposed to her evil and violent life, we celebrate her passing from this earth and hope she lives in the afterlife reliving each gesture of violence, cruelty and shame that she delivered on her children.” http://www.reviewjournal.com/news/nevada-and-west/angry-obituary-causes-fuss-reno-newspaper
I guess, if you piss someone off in life, don't let them write your obituary.
