When Keelia Carver contacted the newspaper outside the town where she grew up, she never imagined her family would make national news.
The Eugene Register-Guard devoted the front page of their Sunday paper to the story of how Keelia was prevented from caring for Max after his death and this website, created to spare other families and professionals from the mistakes that were made. Register-Guard editors were so moved by the story that, unsolicited, they followed up with an editorial praising the determination of Keelia and another mother to turn their families’ suffering into something of benefit to others. Clearly USA Today editors felt the same way, picking the story up to run nationwide, with subsequent posting on MSN.com. Messages of support and condolence are coming in from across the country, along with inquiries about family funeral rights in other states.

I just read about your website in the Oregon Stater. What a selfless act you have done to benefit others while grieving. It's amazing what you don't know before a loved one dies and what you wish you would have known. 12/13/2019 12:46:13 pm
Amy, thanks for your thoughtful response. May it be so that Max's story benefits families in your community when that time comes. Comments are closed.
