Dueling Obits

Two obituaries for the same man were printed in the same edition of the a newspaper. One was written by his wife, the other by his girlfriend!

dueling obits
 
In the top one, Leroy Black is survived by his ‘loving wife, Bearetta Harrison Black…’
 
In the bottom one, he is survived by his ‘…long-time girlfriend, Princess Hall.’ Note that is wife is not even mentioned by name. Guess she’s part of the “…host of other family…”
 
Can we say ‘tacky!’?

    I saw that! Have to admit I rolled my eyes, and then laughed.

      The man sure didn't have good taste in his 'side piece' did he. ;)

    I just couldn't laugh at this one. It seemed sort of sad to me.

    Thanks NJ. I saw this on my fb newsfeed since Jersey is my homestate. I hung my head in shame. I'm baffled the paper even ran both. Show some respect towards the wife, but I guess they're that desperate for money these days.

      Sorry that it happened in NJ, JAS but gotta say...in this day and age, it could have been any state so you have no reason to hang your head.
