Children Deliver Harsh Send-Off In Mother’s Death Notice, And We Are Shocked

Kathleen’s son, Jay Dehmlow, expressed that the obituary helped them find closure, while a relative noted it only portrayed a partial view of her life. The incident sparked discussions on social media about what is appropriate to include in obituaries, prompting legacy.com to review its content standards.
