BOB FLETCHER SHOULD DEATHBED PROMISES BE KEPT? aNear death from a lengthy illness, a woman asks her husband to prom- ise that he will never re -marry. He promises, and she passes away. But after''thie a Yercu e.tt�� j qq losingg his w' thti finds sb1 l e�t:p�l {'2if� omarS.

It's a difficult decision, as are most problems stemming from promis- es made to a dying loved one: On the other hand, the husband would be very happy if he were to marry again. On the other hand, promises are promises. The important thing to remember, if ever you are faced with a similar problem, is that deathbed promises are nearly always made under se- vere emotional stress. They may not always be carefully considered by both people. The man finally did decide to remarry, knowing his first wife would have wanted him to be happy. It should always be kept in mind that the memory of the departed must be honored, but that survivors must be free to continue with their own lives. U• o. !T!
