The Sad State of Obituaries - Senior Moments

Maybe you have noticed that as newspaper charges have risen, obituaries have gotten briefer, and fewer of them are being published. I find it very sad to think that a person may simply disappear so completely that his future family members never discover where, when or how he lived his life. As for yourself, don’t be so humble that you think nobody will care about your life. Your story will benefit someone. Try to leave your footprints behind in a number of ways. I've got some pointers for you that might just help.
