Dueling Obituaries from Two Separate Lovers

This week, a New Jersey man’s “loving wife” and “longtime girlfriend” placed dueling obituaries in the same newspaper. The wife’s obituary states that he is survived by his wife, son, and two other children from a previous relationship. While the girlfriend’s obituary explains that he is survived by his son, six siblings, and longtime girlfriend. A funeral home spokesman clarifies that both obituaries were necessary because both significant others wanted it done their way.
