My Obituary

My Obituary

Jennifer Dees Whitten Grisham died yesterday after her first skydiving experience at the age of 93. The exact cause of her death is unknown, as it appears the dive went fine, and after landing gently, Mrs. Grisham could be seen smiling and laughing; when she suddenly fell to the ground and was pronounced dead on the scene. Authorities have ruled it as an apparent heart attack.

Mrs. Grisham was a notable author, having written a couple of personal memoirs in her lifetime, and was a successful real estate agent in the Pickwick Lake area of her hometown. Her greatest achievement though, was the Every Mile Matters foundation, a non-profit organization she and her business partner, and long time friend, co-created to benefit cancer patients. After the cure of cancer, the foundation broadened its scope to reach countless others in need. The foundation has raised millions and in 2027, it was named “Charity of the Year” by Forbes magazine.

Even at the age of 93, Jennifer could still pick up the guitar and make a horrible racket, which she often did, for her own amusement. She will be most remembered for her unique sense of humor and quick wit. After being awarded the Nobel Prize for her humanitarian efforts, she was quoted as saying, “Gotta save the world; one asshole at a time.”

She is survived by a loving husband, step-daughter, and countless friends and family. The majority of her estate was designated as a sanctuary for rescue animals.
