I have no idea how an obit writer works and what they do to create their obits -- I was once told they have someone fill out a form about the deceased -- but that one comment my friend made is what sparked the idea for the poetry book. And, anyway, the title is near enough appropriate given the poems' content.Dawn Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06291423272908722351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8599152.post-76375134823717265102011-11-12T01:05:10.126-08:002011-11-12T01:05:10.126-08:00Dawn,

Usually I knew the person because our church is not large. However, whether or not I knew the deceased, I always spoke with family members and asked them to tell me about their loved one so I could capture the essence of that person in a short obituary.LIllie Ammannhttp://lillieammann.com/blognoreply@blogger.com
