Yes, I know he's going to be seen by gajillions of people, but it's one thing to view someone in real life and another to see a photo. Yuk!

Okay, I'm going to REALLY squick you out!!
All my life, I have been told that I look just like my maternal grandmother, I act like she, I have the same likes/dislikes as she, I could twist my granddaddy around my little finger just like she, etc, etc. She died several years before I was even born (she was only 55), and we are both equally camera shy.
Up until two years ago, the ONLY photo I had ever seen of her was - yep, in her casket. Of course, when I was little and they told me I was just like her, I cried, because I thought of that funeral photo. Now that I've seen some
real photos of my grandmother, and I can see what they're all talking about.
Damn, she was a good looking lady!
Further squicking...
I still regret that we didn't get a photo of my daddy when he died.
It was so sudden, we forgot so much...
Edited to add that she & I were/are Baptists, since we're stating religions here. My daddy was Assembly of God.
