This is the obit written by the child in seminary. I have great hope for the future with this child as a spiritual leader. The eldest child has written a song, the youngest is in mourning. I wonder if, since he died so close to Easter, if Fat Tuesday will rise again....
On April 5th 2007 at 7:30 p.m. a dear friend and family member was murdered in a crime of passion by a toy-obsessed, energetic, addict, puppy. The dog is now in custody but the loss will be great.
Known to some as the one you hope you don’t pick up in the claw machine, Fat Tuesday turned out to be a diamond in the rough. He was a photogenic icon for many people. To some he might have represented a very important religious time. However, his family knew that religion wasn’t what Fat Tuesday was all about. You see to Phat it wasn’t about trivial events or even very good hair upkeep. What Phat cared about was peace, love, and ironically he loved animals. It was that love that ultimately led to his demise. He was warm and cuddly all the way down to his soft cottony insides.
He is survived by the xxxx family, including Aaron his primary caregiver and best friend.
A graveside service will be held on Friday April the 6th at 5:30ish for family and close friends (or anyone else) at the family's backyard.
Tentative Speakers include:
Stephen
John Michael
Jonathan
Aaron
And tentatively:
Pastor John Piper (Bethlehem Baptist Church)
Coach Stan Heath (SFU Basketball Coach)
Benedict XVI (Pope)
Matt Redman (British)
Bill Cosby (Fat Albert)
Kenan Thompson (Fat Albert)
Mike Huckabee (Future President of the United Stated)
A special musical tribute is also expected by Nick Cannon (hilarious) but if not Jonathan will do it.

I am sorry to report that due to political unrest in the nation, I am unable to get the necessary travel visas to come to the funeral in the South. I will greatly miss the opportunity to attend the wake and to listen to the stellar line-up of speakers at the funeral. The state of Close-to-Sanity sends it official condolances to the family and friends of Fat Tuesday.
The Princess sends her regrets as well. She has been temporarily placed under house arrest due to an unfortunate incident with digging up certain state vegetable gardens.
The State Close-to-Sanity has declared today an official day of mourning. The Senate finance committe has passed a resolution to donate an unspecified sum of money in memory of Fat Tuesday to the Royal Hospital For Survivors of Claw Machine Accidents.
