Using examples from the best online tributes, she explains step by step how to preserve the memory of your loved one's life in all its magnificent imperfection. She shows you how to get past that blank screen or page and choose stories and details that add texture and nuance to your portrait in just a few words. The result is an obituary that's polished but real--a colorful, captivating remembrance that does justice to the remarkable person you loved.
