Of course there is...wish I knew what it was! The person lives in our county and is a member of a very large extended group of folks who spell their last name four different ways. At the hospital we would sometimes have many as three patients in one unit with the same first and last name, though the spelling of the last name often differed. Post-notes and red flags appeared everywhere, alerting staff to this situation. 

At any rate, the other bit of info in the obit said that the Cremation Society of Virginia is in charge of arrangements, and a memorial service will be held at a later date. I told my daughter I thought the attendance might be rather small...
