My dad died last July. I didn't start a thread on it because I didn't want any condolences, for various reasons. Anyway, my sister posted it on FaceBook, and got a lot of replies, one of which was from a friend of hers, saying "There's a new angel looking down on us from heaven."

I told my sister how hard it was for me to bite my tongue and say nothing, when what I wanted to post was "Dad was a lifelong atheist. He not only wouldn't thank you for saying that, he'd probably laugh in your face." My sister thanked me for holding my peace.
