I'm sorry if we sounded disrespectful or rude in any way concerning the obituary! I realize that if it was my own deceased grandmother/mother, I might not have found it so funny. But at the same time, the humor we found in the article was NOT from the out of body experience itself or the fact that she was forced to use her right hand, but rather in the way it was presented. It's like a politically-incorrect joke. My dad has a ton of jewish jokes; he learned all of them from his many Jewish friends while in college in Boston. The jokes are hilarious, but my dad is the farthest thing from anti-Jewish--some of his best friends are Jews. Yet his jokes never really cross the line, and he knows what should be a joke and what's not funny. However, they'll always be people who are offended at the slightest things. A problem of perception, maybe? Regardless, I thought the obituary was funny. I believe that I am in no way disrespecting the woman and the merit of her life. I would be embarrassed if anyone thought I was disrespectful, and I'm sorry if it appeared that way!
