@Alice
My dad disappeared for 32 years, and when he reappeared, I waited four years for him to tell me how my mother died.
Never found out, and my gran used to like to tell different people different stories, so now I'll never know.

@Alice It's a pity your dad never met my mom. When my dad died, she tried to put an ad in the newspaper, saying "Robert's dead." She knew that they charged by the word. Anyway, the got back to her and explained that they couldn't run the ad. Something to do with a 5-word minimum. She wrote back and added "suit for sale."

@Alice

Yikes.

@Alice very smooth

@Alice

Sorry for your loss

@Alice Sounds like something from 'The Framley Examiner' https://www.framleyexaminer.com/pages/anno005

Unfortunately, I’m not even kidding. It kind of read like this:

Carol McKay, beloved wife of Kyle McKay and loving mother of Alice McKay, passed away last Wednesday after a long battle with cancer. Prior to that, she worked at McKay's located in Anytown USA on the corner of Main St and Center Ave. They'll be closed on Sunday for the memorial service but will reopen bright and early on Monday morning for all of your McKay's needs!
