    I've had to edit obits at various stops along the way, and, people would not believe what other people try to get in that first line.

    "Went home to his sweet Lord Jesus," was always a personal favorite.

    If it's a paid obit, they can write whatever they want, no? (unless it's libelous or indecent)
