Besides the church, where a testimonial can be a testi-lie?
The next place closer must be when folks die?
Folks, just shoot of statements of this and that.

I wasn't the best spouse
The best child
The best friend
And some probably were better than they are willing to admit.

But the funeral lies come when they wish for a little more time with the one that died?
What changed?
What stopped you from kindness?
When they were alive?
Showing compassion and love.

Once your meanness is exposed to others.
And they truly know you.
Your funeral of lies hidden within tears takes over.
