My Obit

Lucina Mendez, a student at Anoka Ramsey Community College in Coon Rapids, MN, never realized her dream of running a shelter for abandoned cats. However, in an odd twist of fate, her cat- The Willard DeMarco Mendez, had a sudden heart attack and perished at the news that his master died while bungee-jumping naked off a pyramid in Chichen Itza, Mexico.
The 28-year old Personal Care Attendant worked with the disabled for over ten years, and was much respected by her clients, though by there own admission, often trodden apoun.
Lucina, who was known by her nickname, “Master”, also did security at Williams Pub and Peanut Bar in Minneapolis for three years, and although she never enjoyed it, she liked many of her co-workers who were anguished to hear of her demise, “ We should all just lay down and die right now, just like that cat,” said the most attractive of her male co-workers.
The service which will be held at 2pm, on Saturday, October 17th at The Church of The Spaghetti God and other Celestial Entities, will be attended by few, due to her request to be tucked in a hefty bag and tossed in the river.
She is survived by her mother Cindy Gaasvig, brother Adam Mendez, and sister Ashley Filipelli.

  2. Wow, naked bungee jumping! Never tried it, never will :P I don't know if being tucked into a Hefty bag and being tossed in the river is going to give you a restful place to stay. I think the cops or FBI or someone will find you and investigate! :P

  4. I agree with Shelly. The hefty bag doesn't seem so peaceful, but hey if that's your wish, why not. Very creative. You got a chuckle outta me.

  5. Grade: 6/10
    Mistakes:
    • Should be 2 p.m.
    • Should be Saturday, Oct. 17
    • Should be Minn.
    • Should be Anoka-Ramsey (with a hyphen)
    • After using a hyphen to set off "her cat" you need to insert a second hyphen to close it off
    • Should be 10
    • Personal care attendant doesn't need to be capitalized as it's not a proper name.
    • Should be a period after demise

    * Hilarious, Lucina! Way to have fun with this assignment.
