So long, and thanks for all the fish. (Jerry's Obituary)*



6th of February 2007

Jerry (Candy) Lastnamewithheld, a member of the small, rare, and extremely odd
Lastnamewithheld clan, died after a few excruciating days from unknown but believed natural causes.

Jerry was 1 yr. 11 m. 25 days our amusing pet-his actual lifespan may have been 4-6 yrs(a fish never reveals his vitals to mammals!).

In our absence, our friend, Marlene always took care of him. They probably had serious discussions about life, its meaning, and politics.
Jerry had a secret life as an explorer in the great unknown green habitat that was Sebastian's room. He also had some incompatible tank mates that he managed to kill off with his bad hygiene.

He has now joined the big murky waters of some sewage system after a brief toilet ceremony held on Tuesday evening.
The wake and burial services had a small attendance due to Superbowl Sunday commercials, Heroes on Monday night, and the Sabre's stroke-inducing game on Tuesday.

Jerry we will somewhat miss you and your speckled orange and pearlescent white scales.

Donations for another pet can be made out to Dora and her alone-No Pennies Please.
