Summary: Leslie Ray Charping's daughter released a very honest obituary about her late father and has gone viral. In short her statement said that her father was not a great man and that evil does die. Many think this was hostile to speak of her father that way and she felt that they missed her point and probably meant that they had good parents. A direct quote from her summarizes her feelings about this event "I apologize to anyone that my father hurt and I felt it would have been offensive to portray him as anything other than who he was".
Analysis: Reading this woman's obituary made me feel truly sorry for her and what she had to go through. It was clear that Leslie Charping was not the role model parent and will never be seen that way. I think it was right of the daughter to be down right honest about her father and not try to sugarcoat how she felt. This does seem like a step forward for her and I do think speaking freely about him like that will help her in the future.

I think this is a little shocking since usually people don't like to speak badly about the dead. However, it seems healthy for her to be honest about her feelings.
