I can understand where this individual is coming from who wrote that obituary because the obituary that was written could very well have been that of my mother, I could very well have been the person that wrote that obituary, so pretty much speaking from first-hand knowledge I may know more of what this individual's feelings were then some of you and that's merely guessing, I can only speak from my own feelings having read that obituary. I can see the frustration and the hurt feelings and the disillusionment that was put into this obituary, I have first-hand knowledge of that and I can understand the courage it took to write that and have it published and I don't drink and I have never done drugs and neither have any of my siblings. So yeah, some people may think that it was heartless and not very wise for this individual to do what they did, but look at it from their viewpoint it could've been a lot worse, believe me I know.
But I would have to ask this. Did that obit actually help anyone over the past hurts? Does it give anything positive at all to anyone in the family that lived their lives under that ladies stronghold? I ask because I have not suffered that type of a life myself. So therefore I Do Not Understand how it could cause anyone to feel better. Is there any permanant and positive satisfaction in it?

No,I do not see it helping anyone get over the past, that is something that each individual has to deal with in their own way, basically what I see is the release of frustration and anger over what was done to them, mind you this was not just one individual's decision to do this, I would imagine that all of the siblings had a hand in what was to be written and printed and maybe it was their way of getting their final say and that I can understand.
According to the “link” it takes you to one of hundreds of websites online that are talking about this obituary. Notice in the article that they say it’s from the Times – Herald newspaper serving Solana and Napa Counties. If you click the newspaper name as a link and check the paper online – you’ll see that the obituary for her death does not exist, try checking for any date and her name isn’t there. My opinion for what it’s worth, this website and others like it are the being of an urban legend, and we’ve all been duped.
Dolores Aguilar fails to be found in any of the obituary searches.
Me thinks a hoax has been played upon the country and we’ve all be had.
If you actually find the obituary in print online for this or any newspaper please provide the link. However I can’t find anyplace “newspaper” that has it, just a lot of websites that repeat the hoax.
Thanks Phil for checking Snopes,,,, I didn't think of it.
I noticed that Snopes was last updated on the 21 Aug. 2008. I won’t argue with Snopes however as I said in the post,,,, they (newspaper) don’t have it listed in the obituary ~ I now wonder why? I did check the country recorder online to see if there was an online death certificate as well, however they don’t post them for view by everyone. You have to order a copy of it and only if you are a family member.
Interesting,,,,,,,, I guess I have to write mine out now ~ and not leave it up to Mrs Aks to compose! Who knows what she’ll tell everyone. LOL
