My Bully, My Aunt, & Her Final Gift by Harold Phifer

After the death of Aunt Kathy, Hal was tasked with the responsibility of creating a eulogy and building a buzz around a funeral no one wanted to attend. Because of Aunt Kathy dark past of destroying lives and belittling peers and parishioners, everyone knew she was slated for hell and Hal was certainly ok with it. 

However, Aunt Kathy’s beloved pastor had other ideas. He wanted to slip her past Saint Peter at the Pearlie Gates. That was a challenge well beyond the reverend and his spiritual hands. 

But, in order to have a pray of a chance, he needed a resentful Hal on board to alter Aunt Kathy’s final course. It's a tug of war between the pastor and Hal from start to finish with laughter until the very end.
