While registered voters await anxiously for the rounding off of the
primaries and look forward to voting in Fall for either Trump or Clinton (since
must pundits have projected her the nominee of the Democratic Party), one “Grammy”
decided against the wait. She simply died. So says her obituary.
According to the obituary, “Grammy” Noland Mary Anne “faced with the
prospect of voting for either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton …, chose instead
to pass into the eternal love of God in Sunday, May 15, 2016 at the age of 68.”
Posted on Richmond-Times Dispatch website,
the obituary praised the virtues of the “Grammy” nurse as a “faithful child of
God”, one who “devoted her life to sharing the love she received from Christ”
and a “wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, friend and nurse”. Anyways,
her visitations and memorial service are slated on Tuesday 17 and Wednesday 18
respectively.
While the members of her immediate
family bereave over her death, the rest of American voters still wait
anxiously for the November, but the battle between Secretary Clinton and
Senator Sanders for Democratic nomination is far from being over. With the
conclusion of the Oregon and Kentucky primaries, the results came split into
two, with Kentucky going for Clinton, though by a slim margin of .5%, while
Sanders seemed to have coasted off with a win at the Oregon primaries with a wider
margin than the Kentucky margin. The wait is for a while though, but the
message in “Grammy’s” obituary is loud enough.
According to a statement
by The Richmond-Times, “this isn’t the first time a paid death notice has been
used to send a personal message to the world”. Noting therefore that the
obituary was a message to the American voters, though the deceased’s husband expressed
the intention behind the obituary was not to hit at any of the presidential candidates, but a way to carry on “her sense of humor”, he
told NBC12.
