A Funeral is Set for a Dear Friend
Dear Friends,
It's a sad day in Pocatello. Today we had to say goodbye to one of our dear friends. It is hard to describe the weeping and wailing and 
gnashing of teeth that went on. Our dear friend "Natalia" was taken from us this afternoon. And what's worse...her life was valued at only $40 bucks. This precious gem has been in our family since it was new. My parents bought it new in 1990, so that translates to 18 years of friendship. I am so distraught right now that it is hard for me to even type these beautiful words. Hold on, I need a tissue to blow my nose....
As this dear friend of ours passes away and moves on to another life higher than ours, we would like to say our goodbye's properly. Unfortunately we can't have an open Casket ceremony because she is not here to see. But fortunately for modern technology we have decided to hold an ONLINE FUNERAL. Since I (Scott) had the wonderful opportunity to drive this dear friend around for the past 7 years, and she kicked the bucket at my house, I am personally going to conduct the funeral. I would not want to burden anybody else with this dreaded task. Hold on, I am tearing up again.....Eileen, where's the Kleenex?.........

my dear cousins,
i am oh so sorry to hear about, oh shoot..i forgot her name, natalia? maybe? anyway, i'm sorry about her. I will try my hardest to be there for the ceremony.
you guys will be in our thoughts and prayers.
Hey sad day indeed. Just one thought...I know Ol Natalia was a dear sweet friend of us all, but friday night at 7:00 is the opening ceremonies of the Olympics...Now don't get me wrong, the car was dear to my heart, but come on...Chinees fireworks? I may have to send my virtual, virtual respects!
Friday might not work for me. We will have a new baby and my wife will be in the hospital so I will pay my respects now...Many a girl I kissed in that car(None the likes of my beautiful wife Heidi of course). It was my date car. I drove to all my high school activities in that car...(who am I kidding. I had to drive the van unless it was a date.) I loved her dearly and then scott ripped off mom and dad when he took it to college...oops, no negative comments...I'm sure that car has memories of me too. One time, I took a girl on a date in high school and on the way home, I took her to the back of the church parking lot and turned up the music and we danced under the moonlight. When it was time to go I thought I would try and kiss her, so I tried and she DENIED ME COLD. To make matters worse she started laughing. Ah! the memories of the white car
