NEWTON, GA—More than 60 years of strife and infighting among the Horton family reportedly surfaced Monday in the funeral guest book for the patriarch, Lionel Horton, 89.

"I will forever remember Uncle Lionel as a loving and kind individual—much different than Aunt Doris," one entry read.

"It's just like my in-laws not to offer me a lift to the cemetery," read another. During a eulogy given at Horton's funeral service at Life Eternal Baptist Church, the deceased's half brother, Derek, 76, praised him as a "devoted husband to his conniving, money-grubbing bitch of a wife" and urged his "lazy, undeserving children" to take comfort in the fact that their father is in a much more peaceful place.

'Sounds like the kind of funeral where half the people in attendance are there to make damn sure he's dead! I've been to one or two like that.

Legendary Nebraska football Coach Tom Osborne spoke at the other famed NU Coach, Bob Devaney's funeral. Bob who had a very quick wit told him once that "the size of one's funeral depends largely on the weather". It must have been a nice day.

Can't remember if it was Mark Twain or Will Rogers who is quoted as remarking on the death of someone with whom he was at odds - "I didn't attend his funeral, but I sent a message stating my approval."

I guess you don't go to funerals for the entertainment, but I'd have been cracking up at that one!! Unless of course I was one of the undeserving children :shock:
