(CNN) — Stacey Nagy’s husband David died two weeks ago of complications from coronavirus. She regretted the loss of her lifelong love. And then she was furious.
In an incendiary obituary for her late husband, Nagy condemned politicians and Texans whose response to the coronavirus and her refusal to wear masks, she said, were responsible for her death.
He also issued a stern warning: “May karma find them all.”
Nagy’s obituary for her husband of 79 years was published in a small newspaper in Jefferson, Texas, without a functional website, but her words spread over the Internet in the days after David’s death.
“Family members believe that David’s death was unnecessary,” he wrote. “They blame his death and the death of all other innocent people on Trump, (Texas Governor Greg) Abbott and all the other politicians who did not take this pandemic seriously and were more concerned with its popularity and votes than with their lives. ”
Texas has more than 466,000 cases, the third highest number in any state, according to the Coronavirus Tracker. U.S from CNN. Several Texans have used their loved ones’ obituaries to call Abbott for the state’s response to the virus, too, in forceful, emotional obituaries.
Also guilty of her husband’s death, Nagy wrote, are the “ignorant, selfish, and selfish people who refused to follow the advice of medical professionals, believing that their right not to wear a mask was more important than killing innocent people ».
More than 156,000 people have died from coronavirus in United States. David died in late July in an ICU in Texas, with his body devastated by the virus. His family could not be by his side, Nagy wrote.
“Dave did everything he was supposed to do, but you didn’t,” Nagy wrote. “What a shame for you all, and that karma finds you all!”
Nagy told CNN’s Erin Burnett that she was distraught and angry when she wrote her husband’s obituary. She wanted to force her neighbors to wear masks and “blame whoever it is.”
“It is frustrating when you know that someone died who did not need to die, or at least did not need to die the way they did and at the time they did,” Nagy said in her appearance on Tuesday in “Erin Burnett In Front . »
David, originally from California, retired in Texas and had lived in Jefferson for several years before his death, Nagy said. He was loved by his family and friends for his playful personality.
“Dave was a character,” said Nagy. “She was a fun-loving person and loved her family very much.”
Nagy said she lost the love of her life. He was part of her, she said, a part that she believes she lost too soon.
