Monday Hello & A Bizarre Obituary I Found

Hi Everyone! Monday, Monday...(insert Mamas & Papas song here). It is the end of the day for me. Now I'm off to my commute home. Today wasn't too bad at work. Luckily it wasn't too busy. I got caught up on some work that needed to be finished.

This morning on my commute in, I heard about this on the radio. This is very sad! I wonder what this woman must have done to her family to deserve an obituary like this! This is a REAL obituary taken from the Times Herald newspaper. First two paragraphs are fine...then the third paragraph takes on a whole new dimension. Can you imagine being hated by your family this much? I think it is sad on all parts. Hopefully Dolores will find peace in Heaven & this family will indeed get closure and get past the hostility in their hearts.

***************************************

Dolores Aguilar, born in 1929 in New Mexico, left us on August 7, 2008. She will be met in the afterlife by her husband, Raymond, her son, Paul Jr., and daughter, Ruby.

She is survived by her daughters Marietta, Mitzi, Stella, Beatrice, Virginia and Ramona, and son Billy; grandchildren, Donnelle, Joe, Mitzie, Maria, Mario, Marty, Tynette, Tania, Leta, Alexandria, Tommy, Billy, Mathew, Raymond, Kenny, Javier, Lisa, Ashlie and Michael; great-grandchildren, Brendan, Joseph, Karissa, Jacob, Delaney, Shawn, Cienna, Bailey, Christian, Andre Jr., Andrea, Keith, Saeed, Nujaymah, Salma, Merissa, Emily, Jayci, Isabella, Samantha and Emily. I apologize if I missed anyone.

Dolores had no hobbies, made no contribution to society and rarely shared a kind word or deed in her life. I speak for the majority of her family when I say her presence will not be missed by many, very few tears will be shed and there will be no lamenting over her passing.

Her family will remember Dolores and amongst ourselves we will remember her in our own way, which were mostly sad and troubling times throughout the years. We may have some fond memories of her and perhaps we will think of those times too. But I truly believe at the end of the day ALL of us will really only miss what we never had, a good and kind mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. I hope she is finally at peace with herself. As for the rest of us left behind, I hope this is the
beginning of a time of healing and learning to be a family again.

There will be no service, no prayers and no closure for the family she spent a lifetime tearing apart. We cannot come together in the end to see to it that her grandchildren and great-grandchildren can say their goodbyes.
So I say here for all of us, GOOD BYE MOM.
