How sad.

So while writing obituaries, I noticed that some of the names seemed to be repeated.

It then dawned on me that two people from the same family died with days of each other.

I don't know these people, and chances are I'll never meet them...but I just feel like sending my own personal condolences to them. I can't imagine what they're going through.

It's like what Ryan, my J102 professor, said - if there's one thing you don't ever want to get wrong in the newspaper, it's an obit. It's that person's last little piece in this world, and something for the families to have.

It just kind of puts everything into perspective.
