Most horrifying piece of mail EVAH

Living once again in the house I grew up in, I occasionally get mail in Dad's name. He passed away in 2010. I've even gotten mail in Mom's name a few times, and she passed away in 1989! One day I think I got mail for both of them, lol. And my brother's name sneaks into the mix since we co-own the house, but he hasn't lived here since, um, 1971?

But today takes the cake. This piece of mail was trying to sell romantic jewelry.

(My Name and birthstone) + (Dad's Name and birthstone) = Together Forever

No.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh, marketers. Why you so stupid and callous???

I lived in a house I inherited from my grandparents for six years. I remember trying to get a couple of hospital marketing departments to take their names off mailing lists BECAUSE THEY WERE DEAD. It was a futile effort. It really made me cynical. They just didn't care.
