Hugh Cassidy, 61, lived long enough to vote Trump out
CASSIDY, Hugh Joseph "Hughie" 61, of the Bronx, New York, sadly passed away the evening of April 17, 2021, surrounded by family who refused to watch another Law and Order, which we believe ultimately is what caused him to leave us when he did.

In addition to being a teetotaling mother and an indifferent housekeeper, she was a board certified naturopath specializing in poisonous and medicinal plants; but she would like to point out, posthumously, that although it did occur to her, she never spiked anyone's tea.
Renay Mandel Corren, 84, leaves her favorite son, the gay one who writes catty obituaries
A plus-sized Jewish lady redneck died in El Paso on Saturday. Of itself hardly news, or good news if you're the type that subscribes to the notion that anybody not named you dying in El Paso, Texas is good news. In which case have I got news for you: the bawdy, fertile, redheaded matriarch of a sprawling Jewish-Mexican-Redneck American family has kicked it.
