Hi! My friend’s boyfriend of 15-years passed away. He has a wife but they’d been separated for over 16 years. Because of this, the wife has allowed the girlfriend to plan the services (and I’m helping her).

Any ideas on how to acknowledge both relationships in the obit and funeral program? They both have one son with the deceased man.
