Donation Condolences ?

[pmbevac]

So my son for Christmas donated $200 to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society in my name, which is a beautiful gesture and I love him for it. But then I received this letter form the Society informing me of his gift. I had to laugh when I got to the final paragraph... Who died?

pmbevac you have to laugh, but it could have been very unsettling for you. Incompetence hey! Blessings Jimeka. Well done to your son. 🦋

Oh yeah. I find it hilarious. It's not the first time I've been declared dead. Back when I joined the Army the census came by my folks home and when they guy got to me Ma said "he's no longer with us". Next census I happened to be at their place when the guy said "and your son Paul is deceased" while I was standing there... Ma had some explaining to do!

Wow 😂

Isn't there an option to honor the living or those passed on?

[pmbevac in reply to kdali]

I assume so. I believe it was intended to honor the living as it is addressed to me - just a messed up form letter?

[kdali in reply to pmbevac]

So weird!

Great gesture by your sweet son! That letter reminded me of a silly book I read years ago called Letters From a Nut (sorry - I don't know how to underline book titles here.) by Ted L. Nancy. It was obvious in some of the responses he got that his letter had never been read. It made for hilarious reading.

I have to tell my mom had passed away and my Dad got a bill from a doctor for her four months after she passed away. I looked at my dad and laughed and said so she came back and went to the doctors and she didn't visit us.

After what I said I apologize to my dad. They apologized but I wonder how many times this happens.
