DANVILLE -- A family won't have to worry about paying to honor a loved one. 48-year old Lisa Baldwin died in a car crash Saturday just past the Indiana border along Route 136.

She had just finished delivering newspapers for the Commercial News. Her family was outraged after they say the paper offered to only pay 50% of her obituary.

But Tuesday, the family says the publisher called saying the costs would be covered. The paper also made a donation to help with Baldwin's funeral services.
