RIP

Sadly, our red umbrella finely bit the dust this morning after two and a half years of faithful service, due to heavy rain and winds. There will be a memorial service for the remains of the umbrella this weekend, Sunday at 4pm. This event will be held in our living room. You are cordially invited to attend. The remains of the umbrella will be laid to rest in the bin in Ashley’s office, today, 20th January.

    I would come if cake were involved. (That’s right–I would fly over there for cake. And to mourn your umbrella.)

    You might want to work this into the eulogy!
