Talk about getting the last laugh. Children who were abused at the hands of their mother penned a most hateful obituary to mark her death. Published in a local Nevada newspaper, the far-from-fond farewell went viral.
But it begs the question: if you can't write anything nice, isn't it better to write no obit at all?
“On behalf of her children who she abrasively exposed to her evil and violent life, we celebrate her passing from this earth and hope she lives in the after-life reliving each gesture of violence, cruelty and shame that she delivered on her children.”
And that was just the opening of the obituary for 78-year-old Marianne Theresa Johnson-Reddick, whose six (of eight) children were removed from her home and placed in foster care after years of relentless neglect and abuse.
According to an article in the National Post, her children were the first to secure legislation in the state to terminate a parent's legal rights over a child, and had been estranged from her for 30 years.
