Most obits smooth over the details using terms like, left this life or entered into rest-Not this family. They just put it out there. If they are true to form, the rest of his obit should read like this.
Bennie was put in a overpriced wooden box,
you can come stare at him on Tuesday.

Josh, the dance
My son has had an imaginary brother for 2 years now, that's right 2. He is an older fellow and has resided in California, Florida and occasionally in Kentucky, as you can see he is a bit of a nomad and at one time he had 2 other sisters and a bird. Sometimes Josh gives Liam the okay to do things we veto and here lately he calls Liam on his cell phone at really bad times, like bed time for instance. Sometimes Josh comes with us on trips, other times he is busy but he doesn't like to tell us with what. Recently, Josh taught Liam to break dance. So, my son did what only a boy with so much rhythm could do, he broke it down at his class talent show. I love it that he was so brave, so unaware of himself and what he was risking. I just don't want him to ever be bothered with what other people think and let it stop him. For the record, when I was his age I sang a beautiful rendition of I'm in the Lord's army (complete with a salute) for my class talent show.
