Civility Dead After Untold Ages
It is with deep regret and sorrow that we announce the death of Civility, Widow of Good Manners and friend of Consideration. She was proceeded in death by her father, Decorum, her mother Graciousness, her brother Kindness and her sister, Respect. She fought valiantly against many cancers and diseases including vulgarity, misogyny, bigotry and insincerity. For years she was bullied by the Brothers Rant and Rudeness and was much too often greeted by "The Bird". By request, there will be no services as to avoid the scandal of phones ringing, texts sending, and and cars darting in and out of traffic during her funeral procession. In lieu of flowers, please plant a seed for her surviving grandchildren. Forgive a stranger, smile at a friend, rise above the darkness of indifference, slow down. Use your turn signal. Stop at stop signs. Pardon those who don't. Stop. Listen. Maybe, just maybe, there is hope.
