WHAT'S HAPPENED? 
PEOPLE USED TO DIE, OR PASS AWAY.




"HE BECAME PURE SOUL"

"WENT TO DANCE OF STREETS ON GOLD"
(Don't these have a Don Cornelius ring to them?)

  11. In the Agelaide (Australia) Advertiser, the last page was Births, Deaths & Marriages. Or as we called it: The ;Hatch, match and dispatch' page. I found this little ditty: "Gabriel blew his trumpet, St. Peter banged his drum The pearly gates they opened and in walked mum'.

    1. Thanks for popping in Danny! I LOVE the "Hatch, Match & Dispatch" moniker! There's been a dearth of good obits recently. I guess no one interesting is choosing to leave!
