OBITS: Hat tip to the writer

Recently visited Coeur d’Alene and was incredibly impressed with your obituary writer. The obituaries are works of art. I have read a book by Heather Lende who is an obituary writer in Haines, Alaska, and never thought I’d actually read obituaries that were so personal other than ones that I have read that she has written. Please give my thanks and regards to the writer.
