Yesterday I posted a passionate obit from Jefferson, Texas. Boy, I was not the only one. The great piece went "Viral." This is the Washington POST today.

 ‘Shame on all of you’: Viral obit blames Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for man’s covid-19 death


Stacey and David Nagy were married for 20 years. David died on July 22.

Much of David W. Nagy’s obituary, which ran in his local paper in Jefferson, Tex., on July 30, recounted his painful death from the novel coronavirus at age 79 and named his surviving family members. But midway down, the tone shifted to offer a pointed message for President Trump and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R).

“Family members believe David’s death was needless,” his wife, Stacey Nagy, wrote. “They blame his death and the deaths of all the other innocent people, on Trump, Abbott and all the politicians who did not take this pandemic seriously and were more concerned with their popularity and votes than lives.”

Stacey also scolded people who don’t wear masks, describing them in the obituary as “ignorant, self centered and selfish people” who ignore medical professionals and instead believe that “their ‘right’ not to wear a mask was more important than killing innocent people."
