I would like to thank the Examiner for getting an obituary in at 3:59pm at their office last Thursday.
My wife and I had been running for two days to get everything in line for a memorial service and I assumed the office hours at the Examiner was 5. Unfortunately it was not what was written on the door. They close at 4pm which is the time it said on my phone.
But  the door was unlocked and we walked in. Someone took our information right away and didn't act hurried when my wife had to run back out to the car to get the photo.

I thought I would add this little tidbit I found in the Missouri Constitution since my wife recently had to sit jury duty. In fact, she is there right now and I am home with the kids.
You see, an employer can't fire me if I get called for jury duty, but if my wife does and she is a stay at home mom because we choose to raise our own kids, the employer can do as he pleases. Since they put me in a precarious position, I figured I would pass this on to those who may be facing a similar situation.
