From beyond the grave...
No doubt about it - Sally Baron is going to Heaven.
When Sally Baron's family wrote her obituary, they described a northern Wisconsin woman who raised six children and took care of her husband after he was crushed in a mining accident. She had moved to Stoughton seven years ago to be closer to her children and was 71 when she died Monday after struggling to recuperate from heart surgery. Her family had come to the question of what might be a fitting tribute to her.
"My uncle asked if there was a cause," her youngest son, Pete Baron, said.
Almost in unison, what her children decided to include in the obituary was this: "Memorials in her honor can be made to any organization working for the removal of President Bush."
"She thought he was a liar," Baron's daughter, Maureen Bettilyon, said. "I think his personality, just standing there with that smirk on his face, and acting like he's this holy Christian, that's what really got her...."
"She'd always watch CNN, C-SPAN, and you know, she'd just swear at the TV and say 'Oh, Bush, he's such a whistle ass!' She'd just get so mad," Bettilyon said.
Heh. 'Whistle Ass.' I think I just found a new favorite nickname.

Haw! That's a great one. I'll never look at Smirky the same again.
And I'll work like hell to help this woman's final wish come true.

Read the whole story. This was an incredible woman who know what values really are . . . family, community, country. I would have been proud to know her. G-d bless her and her family.
