Darnell
2008-2009
It is with heavy heart that we report the passing of Darnell, beloved betta of Nathan and Briana. Early this morning Darnell succombed to whatever it is that bettas succomb to and passed away peacefully in his fish sleep.
As recently as last night, Darnell exhibited the playful spirit and pluck that so typified him in life, perfectly executing a jumping love tap to his caretaker's index finger. While this gave us all hope that he was on the road to recovery, the gesture was, in retrospect, merely his way of saying good-bye.
He is survived by his best pal Gladys, who was too grief-stricken for comment, and his adoptive parents, Nathan and Briana, of Oakland. Services will be held upon the return of the fair Briana, whom he loved so well.
Until that time, be careful what you pull out of the freezer.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Darnell. My thoughts are with you, Briana, and, of course, Gladys during this difficult time.
I am also sad to hear of the passing of Darnell. What an upbeat and outgoing fish that will surely be missed by everyone who came in contact with him. How do you know it was a him, by the way?
Only male bettas (and some Castro residents) have colorful fins flowing behind their tails.
Thank you all for your continued support, and Gladys sends her glub.
