This is an example of an obitNow.com obituary written by a older lady who simply wants to ensure that all of
her family members are listed in her obituary. Using obitNow.com she has the ability to update the list as
each new great-grandchild is born. Notice how Mrs. Childers was able to select the descriptor, "Church Member,"
as how she wants to be remembered. Mrs. Childers was also able to tell her relatives out of town where to locate
her will, exactly what type of funeral she wants, and who gets what of her important personal items
(including her dog, Sallie Mae).
