    Does someone using the word passed make sense when describing death of a loved one?

    Come on,don't sugar coat and do double talk and say someone passed when describing a dirt nap,assuming room temperature or meeting your maker When someone dies.Just say they are dead.By using a word like they passed is as bad as Ray Leota calling from the diner phone booth the house where Nicki Santoro was being made where the mafia dons told him that Nicky was just gone or not there anymore.It's laughable when passed on has now just become,he or she passed.So did Randy Moss or Greg Jennings just show up at the dead guy's door and ask if they wanted to have a game of catch with him?The dead guy really didn't die and got a Brett Favre uniform and went nuts throwing footballs through a tire hanging from the big oak tree in his backyard?Why are people so afraid of calling it like it is and saying someone died instead of making it sound like the 90 year old dad was in the punt,pass and kick contest with 12 year olds.

    Well people need to believe in something, especially when death occurs to a family member. Not sure if anything happens myself, but you have to have faith in something.


    So in this case, one person PASSES from one life to another life form

    I don't even know why anyone would care what it is called when someone dies.
