Private backyard burial services were conducted this morning for Nemo the fish. Nemo, who had been battling an undisclosed illness for the past few months, fought hard until the very end. He is survived by his caretakers, Ralph, Kelly & Jake, as well as his pet siblings, Ruthie the dog, and Robert the hermit crab.
While by all accounts Nemo will be dearly missed, rumors of plans for his replacement have been heard on playgrounds in the area. Jake's mother, Kelly, declined to comment on these rumors, instead giving only the non-committal "Uhm, we'll see."
The family thanks the public for their support during this difficult time.

This may be one of the first times I have laughed at an obituary. That was too cute! I am scared to tell you that our goldfish, Goldie, will be celebrating his first birthday with us in a few days. (Knock on a fishtank...or rather not. Is it true that freaks them out?!?)
Thank God I'm not alone. I'm sitting here at work chuckling about your blog post-obituary. RIP Nemo! You'll be missed by all (or at least by some).
Emily and Kristin! Shame on both of you! ;)
reminds me of Cosby! We can't seem to kill ours..I know it sounds cruel but he's forgotten most days and just a pain for me to keep alive.
jill-
Our deepest condolences. Nemo may be joined soon by his distant cousin, Sara Lovey Dovey number 3, who currently resides just outside Denver, CO. Uhm, we'll see...
