Well, here are my comments. Perhaps the perpetrators have not yet experienced much grief at the death of a loved one, or have not comforted a loved one going through such grief themselves. Well, I hope you do, and soon, and that someone does something awful to make it worse and that you think of this when it happens. Then laugh. Ha Ha Ha. These jerks have my utter condemnation -- and I haven't even addressed the privacy issue!
