My condolences to you and your family @StephanieLynn.
Just heard from the vet and Merlin's growth is benign! So thankful for good news.
It sounds like she simply mentioned blood relatives (maybe that’s what the template she worked off did). It’s not ideal, but to be fair, she did just lose her mom, and having to write an obit for your mom at 26 would be a hard thing even under better circumstances. So unless you have reason to believe that she hates you (and her mother’s long time companion), might it be best to give her the benerfit if the doubt?
ETA: I’ve seen some horrendous obits written by otherwise decent people in moments of grief. Like forget to mention one of the siblings, or the second husband, or saying poorly thought out things about the person who has passed away. These things are never easy...
