An important message
Obituary in the April 28, 2008 issue of The New Yorker:
“KESTER—Rose Rothstein, of North Andover, MA, formerly of East Norwich, NY, March 1, 2008. Widow of Harold E. Kester. Survived by Linda and William Cotter of Concord, MA; Marjorie and Peter Smith, of Durham, NH; five loving grandchildren; five great-grandchildren and her sister Anne Gerber. In her memory, please vote Democratic in November.
How frigging great is THAT? Let’s see, if I was going to have an obituary with a purpose, it might be, “In her memory, please fold your own effing laundry.”
Excellent!
Will comply!
“…that which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet…”
Well, a Rose by any other name, except Republican.
Love it.
I love her and I didn’t even get a chance to know her.
Rose rocks
Bless her politics.
The coolest legacy of all!
Well, if Rose insists, who am I to argue?
Rose is my favorite person ever. Brilliant. Do you think that was really, really her request?
I would’ve anyway, but I’ll also do it for Rose.
