Constable needs to check his facts

This letter is a response to Burt don't-bother-me-with-the-facts Constable's column on April 24. The quotes came from his column.

"My mother prayed every single day and talked about the importance of religion but never joined any church or synagogue."

(Hard to believe)

"Morris isn't a member of any church but she wanted a funeral service for her mother, who also didn't attend church and was not member of St. Mary."

The old saying is: Engage the brain before opening the mouth or in this case typing a column. This gibberish belongs on the comic page.

I've had the Herald delivered for 30 plus years and this is only the second time I felt compelled to write.
