> [@PastTense](#): > > Sorry for your loss. Perhaps an obituary link? Ugh. I had his body donated to medical research, and didn’t go with a traditional funeral arrangement. Which left it up to me to get the obituary to the paper, and I haven’t done that. Most of the people who would care knew about it because I let them know in person or through facebook. ---
