There once lived a fish named Pheobe...
She was a rather friendly fish- dearly loved by everyone who knew her.
She and her partner, Pablo, were adopted into our Apartment #2 "Family"in the middle of April.
Rachel brought them home, and we all fell in love.
Phoebe passed away on Friday, May 13th, 2011
As unlucky as Friday the 13th can be, we NEVER expected such a tragedy..
Rachel is doing okay, but Pablo has been acting kind of depressed recently..
In honor of her memory, we decided to have a funeral for Pheobe.
On May 15th, 2011, the services were held.
It started with a viewing of Pheobe's Body..
(Sorry for the graphic-ness Pablo wanted it open casket)
While the guests filed in, we had refreshments
Phoebe wasn't actually from sweden, but she seemed to have a redish tint in her golden scales, so we thought it was appropriate.
tears were shed..
And the tears continued..
even among the suspected murderers..
(Tiare and Tyler were one of the last to be with phoebe.. the truth is still under investigation)
Rachel and Pablo put their "Brave faces" on
Then the services began with a procession line to the burial plot outside our apartment.
(front to back: Tyler Wahlquist, Rachel Allen, Tiare Curtis, Michelle Drennan, Kyle Dawson, Garret Wahlquist, Brittany Bird)
Tyler carried the Casket...
Through tears and laughs, stories were exchanged of Phoebe's short but meaningful time on this earth.
I think this picture show's how everybody deals with pain in different ways-
Rachel: Clinging to loved ones
Garrett: Eating his feelings (in EVERY picture)
Michelle: crying/sad
Tiare: laughing
Tiare spoke a few words
(Observe: Garrett eating)
Showing their respect
Pablo saying his goodbyes..
My attempt at Photography.. haha
Phoebe's grave resides at the Riviera in between Apartments 1 and 2 by the bushes.
Anyone and Everyone is welcome to say their goodbyes
Phoebe of Apartment #2,
You will be missed...
On the bright side, here are some hilarious Fish Jokes I found via Google :)
