POSTAL CLERK USES OBIT TO TRACES FAMILY TO DELIVER PICTURE OF DEAD HUSBAND 67 YEARS LATE

"Because the postal worker's father had lived in Essex, he said he was motivated to go beyond his postal-worker duty and try to deliver the long-lost package. He had found Grandpa's obituary online and eventually was able to reach my mom to arrange express delivery to her address. Mom found it quite ironic that its plastic bag explained that damage "will occur because of the great volume handled and the rapid processing methods which must be employed to assure the most expeditious distribution possible." At 67 years old, the package was actually in great shape." - Sean Surity / Yahoo News
