brofur Bobby Boo, in his black suit and tail and Simon Peter (aka Petey Pie
Fuzzy Pants) one of the sweetest, orange, long-furred, best boynurse cats
ever. They sign the guest book and take their seats quietly listening to the
tributes and waiting for their turn to speak words of rememberance about
their furrend, Mocha Dianne Shibley Batson.

As her turn comes, Mattie steps up to the podium,

"Furrst, let mee say fangu tew all uf yew whove come tew thuh ball tew honur
