Oh big sis, what have we here. Now I have to confess, if this bloke is for real, I don't know who on earth he is. If he ain't for real, then you have done a darn good job, convincing me he is. Now aren't you the clever one here. I don't know too much about all this stuff, being stupid and all, but the way you have written this orbituary is superb. The last bit got me . I love your wit and sick humour and so would have "frankie". lest he rests in pieces . great job sis, YOu have the job when it's my time. deal... luv an hugs from little sis from goonsville where dey make em with no brain.....

This is wonderful. Extremely witty and tongue-in-cheek. Well done. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't spot any errors. But it kept me absorbed and gave me a few chuckles along the way.

I appreciated the subtle jibes you inserted and social commentary.

Alison :)

Very entertaining, in a bizarre and twisted way.
The details are well crafted, making him feel real.
I love the little digs at crime in general.
Very well done.
Good luck in the contest.

This is a fine piece that had me smiling all the way through. I loved your names, and your way of describing his marriage... well done!

I did find a couple of things... speak or spoke louder than words?

to the `Recently Bereaved...

Hope that's helpful.

Thanks so much for a good read. Good luck!

Too cute for words. This is very good. I don't like good posts, because there is neve anything to say. I've already told you it was good. It deserves a 6, but I don't have any. Good luck with the contest.

Frankie was quite the joker, failure to laugh could get you killed. If the truth be known, he was in pieces due to the malfuction of the Magican saw. Very well written.

Carol, this story reveals to me a lot: your humor, creativity, horizon, willingness to do research, and much more. But why do you call him Frankie instead of his name? Is it a common nickname for such a person? Btw. the last sentence is hilarious!

Hilarious and well written, you had me laughing after the first sentence. This is creative and I do not think you left anything out, May Frankie's body rest in pieces is a great way to end.

Good luck in the contest.
