[Gpdd] VIRTUAL: Snowy Bear and Beloved Bridge Piggies' Shipboard Memorial Service

[DaPiggyPirates at aol.com]

     It wasn't long before all the piggies thrilled to the rush of the 
Pearl and the salty spray created by her bow. It was like joy-riding only at 
sea. None were turning green by this stage of the venture, even Miss Pooky and 
Miss Pokey! (Miss Pokey hoped that her name had not made her suspect in the 
bum pinching business that the bold, daring and uniquely handsome Captain 
had addressed earlier.)

     The captain shouted out something, unintelligible to most, but the 
sails were trimmed in a way to slow the Pearl's racing speed to a pleasant 
sailing speed. Some of the pirates were disappointed at this, particularly a 
certain Fugly the Fearless and Igor. They alternated between the turtle mission 
and what was happening aboard ship. And they were current on the ship.

     After a time Captain Jack, whose look of jubilation had accompanied 
his racing the waves gave way to a pensive expression. He said, "I say we do 
have a proper On Board Memorial Service for Snowy Bear as well as for the 
others who have recently left for The Bridge." Then he smiled almost inwardly. 
Had anyone read his thoughts they were just that, thoughts...thoughts that 
there were many bridges those like the one he stood on, and then there was 
"The Bridge." He thought of how we miss those who have gone to that other 
Bridge, to be healthy and whole and to wait for those who were loved in this 
life.
     He stepped out of his reverie and announced that there WOULD be such a 
Memorial Service on board the ship.
     All piggies present were to get in touch with their slaves or parents 
at home. "There be ample equipment for communication aboard da Pearl," he 
said, addressing the group. "Let them know dat 
everyone who wishes dare piggy or piggies at The Bridge to be named in da 
Memorial, write in to da GPDD with a name and 2 sentences about da piggy (s). 
That list will be added to Snowy Bear's Memorial Service to be held 
Shipboard and appear on da GPDD," he finished.

     And now, a word from the Virtual Adventure Hosts: IF you want your 
piggy or piggies   who have recently departed for the Bridge to be mentioned, 
follow the good Captain's instructions. On the subject line write: VIRTUAL:  
Snowy Bear and Beloved Bridge Piggies   Memorial Service. (As seen in the 
subject line to this post.) In the text box give the piggy's name and up to 2 
sentences about him or her. All of our piggies need to be remembered. All 
are dear and beloved.

     Also, we can hardly bear what is going on with "Our Debbie" in France. 
The Piggy Memorial Service will be held, but it might be postponed while 
the piggies sail the sea quietly, should that become the most appropriate 
course. I'm certain that all members understand.

     Otherwise, Capt'n Jack would say, "dis be a difficult time for 
weddings and fun, but..." So the Piggy voyage will continue until that time when we 
feel the need to pause. Don't feel guilty about having fun, difficult 
though it seems right now.
