My friend Richard Kent, a Detroit lawyer, is mourning the death of his mother. In an entry on his blog, he writes, of her obituary:

It is short. Simple. And will take up less than 3 column inches in the newspaper.
But it means the world.

And then, on that blog, he traces in photographs the arc of his mom’s life. What a beautiful and moving tribute to Martha Ann Kent. That photo essay is really worth your time. May God welcome her into paradise, and comfort those who mourn her passing.
