Kalamazoo, MI - Mani Mantis born Spring 2008, in Delton, MI, one of two hundred children, passed away at 5:37 pm December 13, 2008 of natural causes. She is survived by her two adopted parents Becca and Mark, her adopted sisters Rascal and Sweety Pie, and brother Shy. She will also be survived by potentially two hundred children, yet to be named.
Though she grew up in the small town of Delton, Mani became well traveled in her later months first moving to Kalamazoo, but also taking trips Grand Rapids and even further north in her free time.
Mani may have been the most well traveled Manits, but she will be best known for her countless hours working on controlling the cricket and boxelder bug populations. One unknown coworker issued the statement: "Hard work and Mani are one in the same, it was like she put in 168 hours a week." Statements like that make it easy to understand how Mani held records in hunting. Killing three crickets, two boxelder bugs, and a fly in a single night, those are records that will probably never be broken.
Mani's mate could not be found for comment. Some say he lost his head.
Mani Mantis will truly be missed. She was one of the good ones. An open memorial service will be held Sunday from 9-10 am. Any donations may be made to Mark.
* I'll miss you Mani! You provided hours of entertainment and I enjoyed learning about you.
