I also am going to use someone else s commentary about it for my article as I feel it explains the motives and reactions to both sides of the controversy very well, so here it is: A punishing paid obituary exposing a woman s affair in small-town Minnesota in the 1960s forced a review of what s fair to say about the departed. Kathleen Dehmlow died last Thursday in Springfield, Minn., at the age of 80. On Monday, the Redwood Falls Gazette published a death notice online and in print that spelled out some salacious details of her life. The obituary starts out conventionally enough, noting her birth in 1938, marriage in 1957 to Dennis Dehmlow in Wabasso and the arrival of children Gina and Jay. What is said next attracted the attention of USA Today, London tabloids and other widely read news outlets: Kathleen became pregnant by Dennis brother Lyle, and Kathleen and Lyle pulled up roots and relocated to Northern California. She abandoned her children, Gina and Jay, who were then raised by her parents, the obituary continued. Kathleen Dehmlow died and will now face judgement, the notice said. She will not by missed by Gina and Jay, and they understand that this world is a better place without her. As the obituary spread across the internet and drew upset responses, the twice-weekly Gazette removed the online version from the website. Lisa Drafall, general manager of the Gazette, said that the family paid for the obituary. Drafall declined to say more, other than it was taken down on Tuesday. This uproar has prompted legacy.com, a global obituary website based in Evanston, Ill., to review its standards and not just lean on the newspapers that feed it. Because the content standards of our newspaper partners are extremely high, we haven t needed to implement independent standards in this area, CEO and founder Stopher Bartel said in a statement Tuesday. That said, we take very seriously the trust placed in us by our partners and the families we together serve, and we will review and re-evaluate our procedures as necessary. Mark Anfinson, attorney for the Minnesota Newspaper Association, said, This kind of trashing of a decedent doesn t happen very often, but there is nothing illegal about what was published.

Terri Myhre, YOH Director My View of the Pews (Continued) Why Grumpy Pastor Likes Bluntly Honest Obituaries I figure you ve heard by now about the obituary which reads that the world is a better place without Kathleen Dehmlow. Now I took a bit of interest in this obituary for two reasons. First, the happenings of this family aren t that far away from me. I know lots of Wabasso folk and a couple of Springfield people. 2nd, it s quite the example of the human condition at its most honest and raw form. I had a couple of different members of the congregation I serve ask me what I thought about it. I think it s sad. It s sad that it appears the deceased made some serious mistakes in her life, and that she never bridged those mistakes with those impacted by her actions. It s sad that her children were abandoned by her. It s sad that they still hold on to the pain she caused them, and cannot let go. It s sad that there s probably more to the story it s complicated, and there isn t any moving past this liminal point for anyone involved. The story ends with bitterness and sorrow. It s sad that you and I read this obituary and even laughed at it. Admit it. You chuckled just a little bit, didn t you? I did. The Greek word in the New Testament for forgiveness is aphemi (pronounced ah-fay-me). It literally means send away or let go. It doesn t mean the this-for-that I apologize and you forgive me when I say I m sorry that we tend to think forgiveness means. No, it means to let go. It s so that something no longer has power over you. That it no longer defines you. It s so that sin, yours or other peoples is no longer a noose around your neck. It s not about getting that other jerk to say I m sorry. It s about you being able to move on, not weighed down by sin yours or someone else s. So why would I like this bluntly honest obituary? The obituary that bares all the private drama in a classless way to all the world over the magical interwebs? I like it for a few reasons. I like it because there is hope in letting go. Maybe after publishing it, Gina and Jay can have some closure, and let go of the pain their biological mother caused them. Because it s visible they re holding that pain close to their hearts. I like it because there is hope in the judgement that Gina and Jay reference about their mother. Kathleen s judgement might actually go pretty well. Does she deserve eternal life? Oh hell no. But neither do you or me. At her judgement, she might grasp everything that she has done that has separated herself from other people and from God, and she might just see everything that has been done for her on the cross. She might be put in a state of amazing awe...not punishment. I like the obituary for, well, here s the real kicker...the real shocker...are you really that different? Are you really that different from Kathleen? Her sin is open for everyone to see. Yours isn t. And lest you think you re a lot better than her for never acting on your lusts, well...ummm...jesus says you aren t. Are you any different from her kids, Gina and Jay? Is there that co-worker who you think just doesn t belong in this world? Do you really dislike that other (continued on
5 PAGE 5 (continued) political persuasion that you think holds no value? That family member who really gets to you? Chances are pretty good you have someone who you wish wasn t around, who you think the world would be better off without. The only difference between you and Gina and Jay is you haven t published your thoughts for everyone to see. We all have junk in our hearts that we hold on to and weighs us down. So, I like the bluntly honest obituary that goes against most better judgements. Why? Because it just might bring the truth out within us, by making us look in a mirror at ourselves. With that truth, we just might be able to let go of those things. After all, what has God done for us? How much have the things we ve done weigh God down? If God can let those things go, perhaps we can do the same with ourselves and with others. See you in church, we don t close for the Summer. Pastor Bruce Combined Bible Studies The ladies Bible study groups will meet together over the summer with Pastor Bruce Drackley leading us. The third Wednesdays have been chosen: July 18th and August 15th at 10:00 am in the Fireside Room at Hope. Coffee will be served and all are invited and encouraged to attend. Summertime Fun!
