Whats Wrong With This Picture?
Thanks to Michelle Malkin for the tip.
First check out this obituary for Stephen James BYRNE, in the Seattle Times. It starts out normal enough with a nice photo of the family.

...his love of sailing, biking, cross country skiing, diving, hiking. His love of an incredible mountain vista, how the leaves turned gold in the fall, a great bottle of wine and a wonderful meal with friends, a long ride around Lake Washington or up Washington Pass, completing the STP bike ride for the first time, and the second. He loved his friends and family as well, and we loved him. More than anything in the world, Steve loved his daughters, Kelsey and Hayley. He was at every soccer game, every school performance, every important event in their lives. He taught them how to do all the things he loved - ride bicycles, go sea kayaking, ski, or simply find some good snow to play in. They read together, played games, went to movies, worked on school projects. He hiked halfway up Mount Rainier with them when they were very young, and all the way up on his own. He taught them by example to love the world, to be adventurous, and to be gentle. There is great tragedy in how his life ended, and theirs, but know that this was a loving, good man who did the best he could while struggling against an incomprehensible burden that none of those of us who loved him could have known.
The rest of the obituary goes on to tell of Steve's world travels, knowledge of other cultures and his employment, etc.
But the obituary is a paid notice from a family member or friend, and doesn't begin to tell the tragic and vile story, where Byrne shot himself after aledgedly killing his two daughters.
Here is the real kicker. Check out this Seattle Post article:

Man kills himself; daughters also dead
EDMONDS -- He e-mailed a suicide note to friends letting them know he planned to kill his two young daughters and himself, then the Edmonds man apparently followed through.
Yesterday, alerted by friends alarmed by his note, Edmonds police officers arrived at a home in a quiet neighborhood at 12:42 p.m. and discovered the bodies of Stephen James Byrne, 50, and his two daughters.
Good Lord, how can someone write such an appologetic and stupid obituary, after Byrne brutally murders his own children. I think I might want to stay clear from whom ever wrote such a glowing accountin the obituary.
