Too Sexy For My Books

… he was good and kind … she had a strong spirit and enthusiasm for life … taken too soon … sadly missed. Death and funeral notices tend to repeat the same things, they are almost clichés. Almost.

Okay this is something that has been niggling away at me for a while. I’ve spoken with a few people about it indirectly and after prompting have decided to blog about it - Professional vs. Non-professional. This may seem to some as being pedantic, elitist and petty but hey, this is my blog […]
