1999 Tributes

Gabby thru Gypsy

Beloved kitty. All black with the brightest and greenest eyes ever seen.
A beautiful girl who died from cancer --very quickly.

Jane Benson

To my precious Gabrielle, I love you very much. I miss you.
I hope you, Mozart, Goober, Woolfie are playing together caring for each other until me and mommy get their. We'll see you soon.. We will miss very much.

Chynna Croft

To Our Dear Gabby;
We miss you so much and we still love you.
You have been our best friend.
We will never forget you and we will see you at the Rainbow Bridge.
Love,
Colin, Dana, Leah, Garrett and Jenna Pinder

Gabe was a very special wonderful baby who bought joy every day to us and Gus his companion. He was not here with us very long -FIP claimed him- more must be done about this illness. We will always love you baby and will light a candle every Monday for you.

Laurie and Phil

Gabriel

You were this Angel brought into our lives,  
Yet taken so suddenly.  
I will never ever forget you.  
You always listened and never judged.  
Gabriel, you were always there for me when no one else was.

I wish I had been able to say goodbye.  
I wish I could have given you one last hug, one last kiss.  
I wish I could have been there for you when you passed away.  
But I know you're thinking of me and you love us.  
You're looking down at me and telling me not to cry.

Gabriel, I love you.

Ruth Wilson

In loving memory of a stray cat who stole our hearts!
Gabriel selected myself along with [now] departed pets, Laughlin and Dominique. A most unusual and entertaining cat you were...I miss you and hope to see you again!

Please embrace Dominique, who recently joined the Rainbow Bridge. My hopes are that you have already embraced Laughlin, your beloved housemate, who passed on a year after you.

Blessings, Clair

Gadget's legacy is found in our work for Aussie Rescue. As I learned that many of the wonderful things about Gadget were not unique to him, but were his expressions of the Australian Shepherd breed. He won't be forgotten, as other Aussies find wonderful homes in the years to come.

Joann

Gaia was a bright girl. She knew all her toys by there names. I would leave for work at 3am and tell her to go check and she would look around my car and the yard to make sure the coast was clear. I would say "Who's that?" and her ears would peak to see if there was someone there. I could go on forever but, I know that everyone understands what I am saying.

Thank you for always being there for me, I will always love you my very dear friend.

Ellen Dye

Our sweet little Scooby left our lives as suddenly as he came in. We miss you so much.

Diane McKay and Brett Tomlinson

Forever loved, forever missed

D. Gavula

To a Great and Loving cat who put more Love into my life then a human can OXOXOXO

John Williams

You were pure love and tenderness. You filled my life with your "joie de vivre" and give much more than I could give you. I thank God for the gift He gave me when you came into my life and put you in His arms when the time came. I will miss you for the rest of my life but I am sure we will meet again, over the rainbow...

Lili Guralnik

This is to my best friend! I miss him so much! I will always love him!
There is nothing that will ever replace him!

Carrie Faucette

Still to this day I miss you, buddy. No one will ever take your place. You lived up to your name. You were indeed The Great Gatsby. Have fun playing with Uncle Bill, Ebony and Britain and Mummy will be with you again some day. I love you, Bud.

Gatsby dog, my special, loving friend. Always faithful and caring. Cancer took you from me, but never from my heart. One day I'll see you and we'll cross the Rainbow Bridge together. Until then know that It hurt to see you suffering, and you will be remembered with love and a special place in my heart.

Love,
Dad

For my baby Girl....
I miss you and will love you forever pumpkin-
Part of me died with you...hope you are somehow with me somewhere
Love forever and ever

Mommy

My beautiful boy. I'll always have the love we shared. You were my baby. You would do anything to be with me and I'd do anything to be with you. You picked me and I didn't have a chance. I'll always cherish the last night we had, you stealing the other dog's food and playing. That night when we went to sleep, you licked my face and curled up against me, When I woke up, you looked at me and knew who I was for the last time. I held you in my arms and kissed you as I had always promised. Thank you for the years of protecting me. Thank you for the fun we had together. You died knowing you were loved. I had to let you leave knowing you had the best life I could give you. We were a pair like no other could be. Thank you for helping make me who I am today. I'll never love another like I love you. I know you're playing with Lucky and Henry now. The cat says hello. I love you.

Deb

Gennie, You were the best baby girl a family could ever hope to have. Dan and I love you and miss you very much. I don't think we will ever stop missing you. Rocky misses you too. Every time I come in the door he runs around looking for you. Baby girl, you were the sweetest thing ever and I'm a better person for the time I had with you. I'm sorry now that I chose for you to have that surgery, but the only other option was too terrible too think about. To have had to watch you suffer would have been awful. And we didn't want that for you.
We love you. I love you...Always.

Chris Tracy

To see your face was to learn the meaning of love. Travel well my dearest friend.

Ken Grant

We miss you terribly, Geoff-Cat. For 14 years you were our constant companion, the BIG GUY (at 19 lbs.) and the boss of the other kitties. Rest in peace. Until we're with you again. We love you.

Verna Bayek

To our silly no brain ever loyal George, we miss you very much. I know you are having a ball somewhere over the rainbow with Dorbie, Sugar, Kiwi, your mama Alice, and all the others who have passed before. Norton misses you very much, and comes looking for you every morning. See you on the bridge, sweetie. Love, Mark & Laura

Mark & Laura

My beloved and trusted friend of 17 years.

Allan E. Dupuis

You were born abandoned and unwanted, but the affection you gave meant you passed on to rainbow bridge a much loved and wanted cat.

Love you always, say hello to Nicki Cat.

Sheree

George was the best friend we could have had. Generous, big hearted, kind and the friendliest dog in the world. He was taken today, quite suddenly and there was no time to say goodbye.

George will be in our hearts forever and we will never forget him. He touched us in so many deeper ways that we will never fill the vacuum left by his death.

George we will see you again and be with you forever. In your short life you made our world a better, brighter place and you carry our love into eternity.

Steve and Faith xxx

George,
  Know that we will always love you. Not a day goes by when we don't think of you and miss you. Toby is really lonely without you! Can't wait to be together with you again.

Nancy Udstuen

"Beana" was a sensitive, sweet, and loving dog. He lived a long life. Watching him die was the hardest thing I ever had to do. My prayer is that I will be reunited with him in heaven for eternity. I pray he is at the feet of Jesus right now, happy and whole. My love for him goes on and I miss him each and every day. He is a good boy! I will love him forever.

Laurie

George was a beautiful orange, female tabby with green eyes. We adopted her as a young adult on George Bush's Inauguration Day, January 1989, therefore the name. It took her all of 5 seconds to take control of the house and our hearts. She loved people, always wanted to be the center of attention, and no one could resist her. Unfortunately we lost her to an illness much too soon. For us she was "the best cat ever".

We miss you, Cindy, Steve and Austin

My beloved George, the memories will be forever.

Jewel McKeehan

My beautiful companions taken too soon...I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you...I'll carry your memory with me always.

Love and enjoy your pets everyday...you never know when they'll be gone forever.

Roxanne & Dag

You were my child, my mother, my grandmother, my sister, and my best friend. You were always there for me.
At your time of passing, I was there for you and we both had our closure together, I will always miss you.

Joyce Welling

Special tribute to Gerogianna

HREF="http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Woods/3016/Georgianna/indexg.html

Jo An for Paula

My favorite bird, a cockatiel named Georgie Boy, died 2/27/98 of unknown cause. I hand raised him, and taught him to speak. He could say his name (which he did OFTEN and loudly), I love you, and much more. He could mimic the ringing of the telephone to such perfection that he’d make me come running to answer it, and then he would literally laugh at me. He could imitate a lot of noises, but the telephone was my favorite (his too I think). He could tap out "Shave and a Haircut" on the top of his cage, and it became a nightly game we played. He loved the Wal-mart commercial with the whistling happy face, the X-files theme music, and loved to "dance". He also liked to sit on my shoulder while I did dishes. I really miss him, as he was the only one of my furred/feathered babies who could actually talk to me!! I loved you Georgie, and will miss you always.

Victoria

Thank you for the years of unselfish love and devotion that you brought into my life. You gave so freely of yourself, asking for so little in return. You're gone now, and I am left behind with many beautiful memories of the time we spent together. I wish you God Speed Babies, into the Light.

I love you, Mama

Dear Gert,

For 16 years you and Alice have been my constant companions. Through three jobs, four houses, two states, several surgeries and numerous ups and downs you were my constant boon companion. I miss you, sweetie, and wish you were still sleeping next to my pillow every night. I'm so sad you had to leave me but I'm glad you had no pain in your leaving. A lot of people were praying for you but the cancer had too much of a head start. The doctor gave you just a little more anesthesia and you slipped quietly away.

Your sister Alice misses you too. She's been talking to me all day. I've tried to tell her you've gone ahead but she still thinks you're hiding in another part of the house. I hope you've met all the other furbabies from the family. Say Hi to Digger, PegLeg and Critter, to Missy, Tinkerbell and Miss Kitty, and especially to Buttons, Amber and Grace. You've all blessed us with a lot of love and you're all still in our hearts.

Oh Gert, it will be a long while before I get used to that empty spot on my bed. I still see you out of the corner of my eye and I have to keep reminding myself that you are gone.

Go in peace my friend, my love, my joy.

Daddy (Rich)

She was a loving protector and she will be dearly missed.

Michele and Mike Tiffany

Gertie: I have loved you deeply, and will see you at the Rainbow Bridge someday. Play and be happy until then.

Love, Mom

Dear Giba,

You were the love of our life. You were our baby, our family. We bragged about you to everyone. Our faces lit up when we mentioned you. Every moment with you was a cherished one. You filled our live's with love and happiness. It is so hard to go on without you now. I hope you are happy and I really hope there is a Rainbow Bridge where we can all be together again. I wish I could turn back time and keep you inside that night. I want to hold you in my arms again. I want you to push your head in my cereal bowl while I'm still eating. I want to see you sleeping in the sink, rolling in the dirt. I want to hear your little meows and your funny purr. I love you G. We all love you and miss you more than anything. Utch has hardly eaten, and hasn't even touched your food that you left. G, you will always live in our hearts, and you must have taken a part of us with you, too, because we are all not whole anymore. We will have to believe that we will be with you again, someday. We love you little G-Bun. Be happy.
Love Forever,
Stacey, Tom, and Elliot (Utch)

He was such a blessing to us, and we miss our little sonny deary!!

The Michael Family

14 years ago (2 years before we got married), my wife was "date raped" and became pregnant. Since she and I are against abortion, she opted to carry the baby to term, and give it up for adoption. About the same time, she found a stray dachshund near where she worked. After many unsuccessful attempts to find the owner, she decided to keep her. She named her Gidget. During her pregnancy, she transferred her emotional bonding to the dog which made the adoption easier for her, as well as made her quite close to Gidget. We have been married 12 years now. Gidget was blind, and deaf, and was beginning to suffer her age in other ways as well. We decided it was time to put her down. It was the hardest thing I have ever done. About that time, we found out that my wife was pregnant with our third child. This was making it easier for her to deal with the loss of Gidget, until last week when we went to emergency with severe abdominal cramps. The pregnancy was ectopic and she required surgery to remove it. We were quite upset at losing the baby. While she was in the hospital recovering, I searched around our city and found her an 8 week old dachshund puppy. Many people don't understand, but it was just the right thing to do given the circumstances. I surprised her with it when she came home. She said that it was the best gift I had ever given her. She named her Cookie and is rapidly developing a close bond with her. Cookie could never replace our lost child, but she will help to fill the emotional void we are suffering. We still miss Gidget. She is buried in a special place at my parents home where all of our pets have gone to rest over the years.

Rob & Mandy

For my darling little girl, thanks for all the joy, your heartbroken mommy.

Gigi was a great cat. She was so prissy yet could catch an icky spider or other bug when we pointed it out to her. We have another black cat (male), his name is Spook. On my wedding day, April 1, 1996, Spook and Gigi had kittens. We had both of the cats declawed in February. Gigi got sick and we thought it might be infection so she got some medicine. She just kept getting skinnier and skinnier and finally just died. I wish she was still here. When she died, Spook was actually crying real tears! We miss her.

Rhonda Earley

To my first kitty who so affectionately would sit on the back of my recliner and groom my hair. Although you were an indoor kitty, now you can romp in the meadows at the bridge and chase butterflies.

Ann

Gimpy, my dearest and precious little one:

My heart literally aches since you've been gone, however the pain pales to the joy and happiness you have brought to my life over the past 20 years. I can't say for certain that Rainbow Bridge exists, but the love that is between us forms our own personal bridge that will always connect us. My love for you is eternal, little one, as I know yours is for me. I can only hope that we will be together someday, never to be separated again.

Until then, with every ounce of love.............Mummy

Gimpy Spring 1978 - March 2, 1998

Ginger was truly a beautiful "old soul". She is sorely missed. Godspeed, Ginger.

J.E.

Ginger adopted me 9 years ago after someone dumped her. She loved to travel in our RV and had seen 47 states (we were going to Okla & Kansas this summer) and all of Canada except the Northwest Territory. When we started to pack the RV, she picked up her bone and was ready to go.
She won the award for the happiest dog in dog obedience class and she lived up to it all her life. Her tail never stopped wagging. She made sure I walked every day for at least 30 minutes. Everyone in the neighborhood knew her. I held her in my arms as the vet "put to sleep" this afternoon. She had cancer of the spleen and was bleeding internally with no hope of recovery. I miss her terribly and look forward to meeting her at the Rainbow Bridge.

Carol Crabtree

Ginger left yesterday as happy as when I first met her 14 years ago. She spent 13 very good years with my parents and then the last year with me. I adopted her to be a companion to my father who had suffered a stroke. He loved her very much, but she always seemed to have a special place for me. Well, she came to live with me last year and she was so happy. But her senior years had given way to mental slowness and diapers were a way of life, but she never complained, just as long as she could follow me around. In May my father passed away and now my mother is dying. And though it was the hardest thing to do, Ginger is now keeping my father company again. I will miss her dearly because she was the most loving sweet dog imaginable, but now she is in a better place and is keeping Dad company.

Mary McCarthy

Beloved Ginger, you are out of pain now but it hurt to lose you. I loved you.

Gloria Leighton

To our precious "niece" Ginger. Your gentle presence and smiling face will be missed at the family gatherings at your mom and dad's house. We love you gentle one. You are now with Samantha, Sparky, Rascal, Buckwheat, Jessie and many others. We hope you have lots of fun playing and running together. Make sure you give Samantha a big kiss for us and tell her that her mommy and daddy love her and miss her.

"Aunt" Debbie and "Uncle" John

I would like to pay tribute to my friend and baby girl, Ginger. I will miss her forever.

Marilyn Quinsey

Tribute to Ginger,  
Ginger was a street dog, she never had any medical attention in her life, she never had a shelter to get out from the rain or cold, she had litter after litter and she was only approximately 3 years old when she died.  
Ginger never trusted anyone. This week when I saw that she had lost so much weight and that she couldn't walk without having to stop and rest, I knew I had to help her. I got her to come to me and I picked her up and brought her in my house.  
Her frail body just lay limp in my arms. She had never been inside before. I gave her a bath, she had never had a bath before. Today I put her in my car and drove her to the vet who said that Ginger was in the advanced stages of heartworms and that at 29 pounds and having difficulty breathing, she probably wouldn't survive treatment. So, Ginger was put to sleep. I told her I loved her and that I was sorry of what her ""owners"" had put her through. I just felt like Ginger needed to be remembered. She will always live on in my heart as a reminder of how unnecessary her death was. I'll see you at the bridge Ging!

Love,  
Leann

I would like to pay tribute to my pup "Ginger". She was 18 years old when she went to the bridge and I know that her tail is wagging, waiting for us to join her. Someday our dear pup someday!!!!"

Donna J. Stout

Ginger was my "granddaughter", the daughter of my Doberman Chelsea and a Black Lab boyfriend. Ginger was given to my mother-in-law who loved her very much. Ginger was taken far too soon by lymphoma, the same disease that would take Chelsea 3 months later. Ginger was a sweet and loving dog to my children when they visited her. She was the color of a red Doberman with no markings, and she would shine in the sun. Good Bye, Ginger. We miss you terribly!

Your owner Evelyn, Val, John, Mike, Caitlin and Kyle

Ginger was the most gentle and friendly cat that I have ever known. She was hit by a car and killed by a careless driver. We will all miss her at this household.

Cathy Lambey

You will always be our Lady. Wait for us and don't give Jesus a hard time! We will always love you and until we see you again, we will miss you and you always have a special home in our heart.

Bob and Debbie Burrows

My "precious precious baby girl" - of all the losses in my life I miss you the most. Love always, me.

Jan

I never thought I'd end up loving you this much. You were so scared when we adopted you. I miss you more than I even thought possible. I've got a lot of friends here supporting me and sorry about your departure too. I know you're in a good place, but I still miss you. 'Til we meet again. Love Shannon.

Ginger and brandy,

Our two beautiful babies had to leave us so soon. You gave us so much happiness and we thank you for those beautiful years we had with both of you. Our hearts are breaking and our tears are falling. We miss your warm kisses and your little hugs. We miss your little footsteps and your little barks. We want you to know that you meant the world to us and we will never forget you. When you two died you took a big part of our hearts with you. We love you Ginger and Brandy more than you will ever know. You two were our and still are our best friends. We will see each other again at the rainbow bridge and then we will never be apart again. Until then stay close to one another and take care of one another and always remember that mommy, daddy and your sister love you very very much. We will see each other again.

We love and miss you Ginger and Brandy

Always and forever your ommy, daddy and your sister

Ginger was my sweetheart. She was always there for me when happy or sad. Ginger protected our family making us feel safe in our home. I miss her so much it hurts. One day we will be together again. Instead of saying "good-bye" I will say "See you in a little while Sweetheart"

Liz

So very much missed and remembered... we love you and can't wait to see you again.

Susan Tousey

If ever there has been a special little girl Mo is the one.
Never to forgotten, never to replaced as she will live forever in the special memories she has left in her place and in my heart.

Robert Gattis

Boy-E and Girl-E now join each other. They were brother and sister. Today Boy-E joined his sister. They are both missed by our family.

Lorraine A. Vorrius

To the best dog anyone could ever have. You were always there for me through good times and bad and I will always be grateful for your unconditional love. God Bless You!

Karla Kalb

A pure and true friend since I was 10 years old.

Jaime

Gizmo, you were a very special friend. I loved you sleeping and cuddling with me. I loved it when you would run to me when I came home from a hard day at work and sat on my lap and purred until I felt better. Your best friend Missy Mouse is still looking for you, you were taken so quickly from us. She misses you as much as I do. I know you and your babies are waiting for me in the Rainbow Bridge. We will all be together again some day. Your unconditional love will be always remembered. You will never be forgotten.

Love, Mommy

Gizmo was a stray kitten I was caring for. He brought sunshine and happy moments to many a dreary day. He is survived by his parents. I am caring for them as well, and will make sure they don't meet the same fate Gizzy did.

Gizmo had the bluest, deepest, sweetest eyes. He clung to me the night before he died as I held him. I will live with the memory of holding his tiny precious body close to mine. He was growing into a beautiful cat, I could see it in his form. He was white with specks of orange by the ears and an orange tail. My first cat Frosty had the same color and markings. Maybe they are together waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge. I hope so; I miss them both terribly.

So to anyone reading this, say a brief prayer for Gizzy. He did nothing but bring joy to my life for the time he was allowed. He will be remembered with tears of joy for the memories, tears of sadness for the loss.

Good-bye my sweetie, my precious one. I love you.

Linnea Edenholm

The sweetest bunny to ever grace the earth. I'm a better person for knowing him, and I hope he's enjoying hopping through the fields. He left my life just as suddenly as he came and I'll never forget him. I love you with all my heart and will think of you everyday. Goodbye Gizmo, save a kiss for me in the afterlife.

Heidi

Such a sweet kitty and gone so quickly. We weren't ready to say goodbye. We all miss you.

Sandy Scott

Gizmo was a noble and gentle animal and best friend of those he shared a home with. We all miss him dearly and wish him food, fun and happiness unlimited until we meet again. We love you, Giz!!!

Laura, Joe, Cathy and Bob Kepley

My Baby Gizmo
Mom and Dad miss and love you so much it hurts. I pray you're not hurting or scared anymore, we are so sorry for everything you went through at the end, we just wanted you to get better and find out what was wrong. This house isn't like home without you. I can't believe the grief and pain it's overwhelming at times. I pray we will all be together again someday for that thought makes me feel a little more at peace. Please know how much we loved you and hated seeing you sad and suffering. God Bless you sweetie (my pooter head)

Love Mom and Dad

Gizmo was my little buddy. Dumb as a box of hammers and blind as a bat, but he was the best friend anyone could ever have. I'd had him ever since he was a puppy and had to leave him with my mom when I graduated high school and moved away. Fortunately I got to go home a lot, until I moved from North Dakota to North Carolina. I was looking forward to going home for Christmas and seeing my little red Gizmo-dog again, but unfortunately it was not to be. My mom came home from work one day to find that Gizmo had fallen down the stairs after suffering a mild stroke and had broken his back. Sadly, Mom had to have Gizmo put to sleep.

There's hardly a day that goes by when I don't cry for my little red Gizmo-dog. I'm not sure what hurts more--the fact that he's gone or the fact that I never got to say goodbye. :(

Camille Klein

My name is Kareena. My 32 year old friend Kelly will be taking her cat, Gizmo to the vet tommorow morning to have her put to rest. Gizmo has a tumor in her intestines which has slowly made her weak. So much so that she does not eat or get up to walk without falling over. Kelly is very heart broken over this, and so to light a candle for her might help her to see the compassion that others share with me for her and Gizmo. She feels that she has let Gizmo down and I try very hard to explain that she has not. If anyone would like to email her, her address is kelly_59@hotmail.com. If you would like to e-mail me, my address is khollow@2xtreme.net.
Thank you for your support everyone!

Kareena Holloway

I can remember when you were born. You were the smallest puppy and I didn't think you would live, but GOD gave you the chance to go on and have a life. The joy you gave me while your little body was growing strong and healthy made me happy. You made me laugh when I was sad, and you gave me unconditional LOVE. All the love and kisses you gave me are in my heart forever. I will never forget how high you would jump for the smallest treat or for my love and affection. I can remember when you would climb up my back when you felt left out of a hug. Your playmate Crystal misses you and the times you two shared together. She looks for you everyday and hopes you could return. Your memories are in my heart forever and you will never be forgotten. I will continue to look at your pictures everyday and cherish you and the times we spent together. Your life ended way too soon and I can only pray that GOD has plans for you in heaven. When it's time for me to go, I know you will meet me at RAINBOW BRIDGE. I LOVE YOU GIZZEMO!!!!!!!!

Gizzy, tomorrow it will be a week since we lost you. I feel like this has been the hardest week of my life. I want you to know how much your Dad & I miss you. We miss your big smile and hug whenever we get home, the way you jump on the bed at 5:15 when the alarm goes off just to get in a morning snuggle, and the way you tease Dad every morning when he puts on his shoes. Most of all we miss your sweet happiness. It was always the cure to the end of a hard day, and you always made us feel better. Now I feel like there's a hole in my life. Your big brother Rosco misses you too. He doesn't understand what happened, and it makes him scared. It's sad that you missed my 30th birthday, which was a sad day instead of a happy one. Gizzy, we all love you and miss you very much. You will always be remembered as our "special little girl."

Lisa

You were my very special boy. I appreciate all the love you gave me. You were such a comfort to me when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer; I remember how you curled up in my arms. I will forever miss the way you would gently bump me with your head when you felt that I wasn't giving you enough attention. I am so sorry that I couldn't save you and the other pets from our house fire. You were truly an angel here on Earth. I will always remember you.

Carol Terry

Glen, the two of us need look no more,  
we both found what we were looking for.  
They don't see you as I do;  
I wish they would try to,  
I'm sure they'd think again  
if they had a friend like Glen.  
Love you always puppy.  
Mum.

She was our Glorious Gloria! Our brave, brave, sweet girl!

We will always have Gloria in our hearts, she will remain with us always.

Joann Van Tine/Karen Lawrence

In over thirteen years I have never heard her whimper or complain.  
Her love has kept me going many times. I hope my love has helped her.  
Apparently the good Lord needed another angel, and believe you me, he now has the best there is. God Bless MY GOLDEN ANGEL.  
I don't feel that God has "taken" her from me, but rather that her time here has been spent doing good for me, and I am thankful.  
It will take forever to get over that one "little" Angel who came into my life.

Lee Van Dam

This tribute is being placed by a friend of Ben's. I hope it helps comfort him in his sorrow over Goldie's death.

To Goldie,

a faithful friend, who taught me about valor in the face of adversity, and hope until her final hour. A friend whose gentle spirit will always remain close and be there when we walk the desert hills together. Thank you Goldie for your sense of humor and your joy and zest for living.

Love from Sandy

My dear Goldie....I miss you so much. I find it hard to believe that you are really gone. I think of you often and keep thinking that no other can take your place. You were my best friend. You will always have a special place in my heart. I will love you forever.

Ellen Pfeffer

My Goldie - It was only this morning that I had to make this decision and my heart is breaking. You fought a great battle, but advanced age and illness took its toll. I could not let you suffer. The house is so quiet without your constant chatter - and yet I still keep hearing your unique sounds every so often.

Your family love you and will miss you forever.

Eileen Stacy Shana

My dog was the best and I'll miss him very much more than anything.
I hope I'll see him soon at the bridge.

Sarah

Gonner, my Best Bud, a true friend. You were so special, you were always by my side, you would always know when I was sad or not feeling well and would somehow make me feel better. My days are so lonely with out you. The grand kids all miss you to Bud, you were their best friend too. You weren't with us for very long, but you were in the hearts of many people, you had many friends and there is a lot of people missing you. Missy is missing you also, she lays on the day bed where the two of you would take your naps, and she looks for you to come get on the bed with her.  
I miss your hugs and kisses and our special "best bud" thing. I will never under stand why we could only have such a short time together. I have to believe you are waiting for me and we will one day be together again for ever and for always. I love you Bud. Miss you more than words can say.

Donna

He was my dog for 13 years, half my life. he was the best buddy I have ever known. I know he is not suffering old age anymore. I still miss him dearly!

Mary Buechel

Gordon: the best dog in the world. We miss him terribly and will always love him.

Gracie was a loving and big hearted girl. The problem with her heart is that she had a rare disease and heart murmur. We loved her very much for all that she was and gave to us. We will always remember the sweet and special things she did, especially her silent meow. She leaves behind her brother, George, who is sad and misses her terribly as he calls for her around the house hoping she'll come running.

Thank you Gracie for who you were and how special you were.

We will always have a special place for you and will always remember you with love.

Niki and Jacek

In honor of Gracie, companion and teacher of Sandy and the Tribe of 10 1. We look forward to meeting you in your new form even as we mourn the loss of your old form...Thank you for giving so freely of yourself and your love.

My little Gracie dog, was the sweetest thing ever. I got Gracie a week before Thanksgiving of 96. I adopted her at the Humane Society and she was an abused dog. I thought we were good for each other, and we were. I was single and a little lonely, Gracie filled that loneliness I had. I eventually got married and had started a family. I had been quite ill and Gracie has always been by my side. She will be greatly missed, I should say she is greatly missed. I miss snuggling with her and how she ran to the door when we came home. Gracie had a unique talent of singing. I really miss that, when she sang it would always bring a smile on every ones face in the room. The thing I miss most of all is having her follow me around and being at my feet all the time.
Gracie was a great dog, our time was short but special. Our family will never forget her. We have beautiful memories of her. She will always be my little girl.

In Loving Memory,
Gracie's Mom

For GracieDog - We know you're in a better place but we miss you immensely. At least now you don't have to take anymore chemo treatments. You fought a valiant fight these past few months. We love you, Mama and Daddy.

Beth & Ricky

Munster, Joey and I miss you so much!! I know that you're still keeping an eye on me. Joey has "stepped up to the plate" and is comforting me through this time. I'm so sorry it happened so fast and so soon; you've always been there for me; insisting that I pet you when nudge against me. Oh, what I wouldn't give to have you following me and talking to me in the morning!! I hope your happy and content in your new place by the bed; it gives me comfort knowing your there. I love you Munster.....

Well Gray Kitty had a good long life. She was over 17 when she died. I remember her when she was just a small kitten sleeping in the kleenex box. She was known as Little Kitty because she was the youngest of my two cats but when they grew up, she was larger than Big Kitty so she became Gray Kitty. In the last few years she was content to lay around and be fed and pet and teach the puppies that came into the house that she was not to be messed with. She only became sick in the last week and I did not let her suffer; the hardest part of a responsible pet owner. I will remember her fondly and miss her meows when I go down to wash clothes. I know she's now playing with her companion, Black Kitty, who has been gone 8 years now. Have fun guys and say hi to Shay, Addy, Shay, Marshy, and Grizz.

Betty Burdette

Your sweetness will be missed.. your love will never ...be..gone..

Joan O'Brien/Martin Singer/Mousie

Your were my bestest friend and my buddy thru it all. I'm so sorry that I couldn't save you. I miss you so much still. Your other brothers and sisters still look for you and miss you. Your place in my heart will always stay until I meet you on that Bridge some day.

Lisa Birchfield

Today we lost the most precious gift God could give us.... our sweet little Grettie. She was 11yr, 4mo, & 17days old. Selfish? Well, maybe we are....we wanted her to stay with us forever. But we know God needs good little girls, too. And he picked the best of the best. There was none finer! So, now we have to learn to live with only her memories around us. We love you Grettie. Today....our little angel got her wings.

Scott and Walter

You were our first and most special girl. We will remember you always. Love Mom

J. Morrison

She had very special needs -- she was diabetic (was developing cataracts); she also had epilepsy. She was not a wanderer, but that day she must have decided to trace my husband's steps when he was on his walk. We searched in vain for her day and night. She was wearing I.D. but apparently no one found her. We knew if she was not found by night time she probably would not live. We have to accept that she is gone, but there is really no closure for us.

June Foster

Gretchen, It has a few years since you went to puppy heaven. Your daddy and I really miss you. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't think of you. Your brother Baron misses you too. You will always be in our hearts. I know you are running around playing and "catching rocks". We love you.

Mark & Martha Hogan

She was a wonderful, loving companion...I will miss her dearly.

Susan Moeller

My sweet, fiesty "Buggy"-  
Oh how your Dad and I miss you.  
You were and are our cupid that brought us together.  
The day we went to bring you home was the day we fell in love with each other and with you.  
Thank you for making my too quiet first apartment burst with fun: Zinging around and around and up and down.  
You gave so much from such a pure heart and despite my doting, the scales will never equal. You showed me how to be strong and vocal without sacrificing loving and gentle.  
Ollie misses you-to him you will always be his queen.  
We see so much of you in "the girls." Tess with her grace and the same white feet. Darby with her snuggles and love of sleeping under the covers.  
You will remain always in our hearts, sweet Gretl angel.  
Mom

Grey Kitty, "Love Bug" - you gave me more love and affection in our very short one year together than I have received from all others - collectively - in my 43 years.

I love you Kitty, Oh yes I do,
I don't love anyone ... as I love you,
When you're not with me... I'm Blue,
Grey Kitty, I Love You.

Like the Flowers Love the Rain,

I love you,

How I miss you Love Bug....

You are my love bug, my only love bug, you made me happy .. when skies were Grey.. you'll never know .. how much I love you... Please

I love you Grey Kitty, I miss you so very much.

Legge

All you ever wanted was to be with me! Your love was (is ) so special to me, I can't believe you are gone. I want you to know how much I love you! You were so afraid of the world out there, but now my friend I have placed you in the ground next to your Moma, She is there and will take care of you until we come together again. I am sorry to see you go, and I want you to know your light will always shine through me!
I have placed an eternal candle on my webpage for both you and your mom Keena.

Goodbye my friend!

Andy Duke

She brought so much pleasure and love into our lives, and she will ever be in our hearts and memories until we meet again at the rainbow bridge...

Pat & Jim Skipper

To My Little One Grizabella, I have never seen any human with the spirit or determination that you showed. The dignity that you had all during your 10 week illness it made me so proud of you and I love you so much. I only relinquished you to Rainbow Bridge last Thursday and my heart is so heavy with the loss. I know in my heart you didn't want to leave me because as sick as must have been you picked up your ears and followed my voice. I didn't want you to die alone while I was at work so I as the frail human had to let you leave me. Please always stay with me as I go through the rest of my life until I hold you once again. I hope you are happy with Whispa, Cleo and Pumpkin. You had such a short life with us but remember how much you are loved. You were my little one and always will be.

Valerie Foxwell

I will really miss you little piggy.
Your silly little squeaks of joy,
Your curious face smelling out food,
Your little warmth sitting in my lap.
If you were still here I never let go.
I'd pet you and hold and make you so happy.
If I could Only see you alive just once more,
I tell you I miss you and will see you again.

Erin Burdette

Your life was much too short Grizz, your heart so big so true. You didn't deserve your fate. I'm glad I never passed you up, I cherish our days together, even though they ended so short; the love we shared was immeasurable. It's something I'll never regret.  
Grizzly had the sweetest eyes God ever created. I'll never ever forget you Grizz- Love You Grizzly Bear! - I love you.

Deeanne

Groaner was our special dog. He made us laugh a lot. He loved to get in trouble then look at you with his big eyes. He was--is--muchly missed.

Bob & Cec Snodgrass

For the past 11 years, you gave me the joy, companionship, love and acceptance only a true friend can give. Loud-mouthed and pig-headed, we were much alike, and you took a big chunk of myself when you decided to leave this morning. My friend, this has been the worst day of the best years of my life.

I weep by your absence. Please help me to remember and laugh at the stupid things we did. Never had I thought then that we would part. It seemed our youth would never fade. I long for your tenor purr. Your howling at the moon.

Though the pain will subside, the thought of you will not. Every so often, I will see and hear you in my mind. One day, I will do so and smile, and the smile will never leave. But not today, friend, not today. Our home is now half full. I remain.

Enjoy the place where you are. I will try to do the same here. Inevitably, though I'm no hurry, please understand, I will join you there. Bring that chunk of myself, I'll bring the Pounce.

Thank you and so long, my friend. À la prochaine.

Sylvain Veillette

Grover was a very special dark brindle male. He suffered from lupus and had broken his leg seven weeks ago. He is now walking along the bridge with full use of all four legs and is in no pain and in the company of all the friends past. I hope he is keeping an eye out for us. We miss him dearly

Robbin

Little Grover, you came to us as a tiny stray. You looked so fragile. But you weren't. You had a very strong spirit. That spirit and your presence will be greatly missed. Some people might have thought you were "just a cat." But you were our cat. One of our children. It won't be the same waking up each morning without you at my feet on the bed. But then you hadn't done that in a few months anyway. But, at least until yesterday, there was hope that you would begin to feel better and I'd feel you pounce one morning. Your spirit was strong. It wanted to make you well. But your body wasn't as strong. Rufus, your buddy for all your eight years, misses you greatly. He kept going from one spot to another last night looking for you in all your favorite sleeping spots. You were a cat and he is a dog, but I don't think he knows that you were different. He just knew you were his buddy. Thank you for the joy you gave us throughout the years. We will miss you but you will live forever in our hearts.

Godspeed Grover. You were greatly loved.

Kris, Joanne, Rufus and Boots

Grunt is missed. The house and yard are incredibly empty now. It's still hard to not see her at the door with her ball. Goodbye Gruntster. I am sorry for the irresponsibility and that a few minutes time can take away some one I loved for years.

Jennifer Phillips

Although it seems as if we'll never get over the hurt of losing you are sweet Gucci, We can never lose sight of the fact that we had you to love and cherish for 12 years. We only wished that it was forever.

Gucci Lanelle, Always Loved, Always Missed!

Jayne and Laurie Johnson

Guliver came as a stray. He was so scared and withdrawn. We loved him and treated well. In the past 3 1/2 years he has been such a good friend to me. I am so sad to have to say Goodbye so unexpectedly to my good buddy. I know he'll feel better soon. He was WONDERFUL dog.

Donna Smith

Gumby fought a valiant fight against Chronic Renal Failure. He was the smallest of his litter and the feistiest. He was a little fighter, but this disease proved too much for him. We love you still and miss you terribly, little Gumbo... Sleep well and come back to us in spirit...

Noreen Boles

Dear gunner!
You were the first horse that I ever had. I will always have a place in my heart for you. I know that you will always watch over me and I know that one day we will meet again.

Amy

I bought Gunther from the Animal Shelter in Ames, Iowa in 1983. He was approximately 9 months old then. He was my best friend and companion. It seemed like he was always sick. So I spent many hours in the waiting room of my family vet. There were also many vet bills that I had to pay with my savings. ( Because I was unemployed from 1990 to 1994 ) But I didn't mind , because he was "my baby","my child". Do you just forget about them when they get sick?! Tell the doctor to "put them to sleep?! NO! I always managed to find the money and pay the bill. I was grateful for the vet being able to cure Gunther of his illness. Except in 1993 when Gunther was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. He died, in my arms, the night before Thanksgiving 1993. I took him to my parents farm, where I buried him in the area where all my other pets were. It's 1998, and I still miss him and tears come to my eyes when I think about him.

SpiceQC

I have never loved something so much in all of my life. I am so sorry that I could not have saved you. I still don't know what happened, Gus. Please forgive me. I can only find a little hope in that I know someday we will meet again. Until then I will keep your beautiful face and fluffy tail in my mind and heart forever.

Mommy

We will miss you pretty lady. Your love and generosity will never be forgotten.

Marge

The happiest dog alive!!

The Horvath Family

Gussy,

Thank you for opening my heart. You had such mission such grace. Our hearts are broken and we miss you so much. I guess that’s the pain of loving so fully.

I pray you're still watching us how your eyes never left our vision. You acted as though you needed us, but the truth is we needed you. How do I hold you? How do I let go.

Nancy and Geoff

Little "Guy", thank you for coming into our loving arms and care, even though for such a short time. Precious baby, the outdoors and diseases just were too powerful to survive. But you had a beautiful little life with your mother and siblings in your special place at such a beautiful time of year. And you laid yourself in our care, we tried our best to save you and we loved you so. Thank you for gracing our lives with your precious beauty. Peace to you. And new life more beautiful, more full of light, a new life of health and love and all that brings peace. May we meet again one day, little "Guy".

Meg Halsey & Joanne Henriot & Noreen Collins.

Gypsie was a beautiful white German Shepard that our whole family loved. She protected us and brought the family much joy. She died of old age and we buried her remains in our yard. No other dog can take her place in our hearts.

Ralph

She was the most dignified and loyal cat I have owned. She was my oldest "daughter" and best friend. She found me back in my college days and was always by my side. All 4 of my other cats loved her and took care of her also. (Only 2 of the 5 were from the same litter.) We found out only 3 weeks ago that she had cancer AND heartworms. For the last 1 1/2 weeks of her life we fed her 3-4 times per day with a syringe as she had stopped eating. (PLEASE everyone, have your cat tested and put on heartworm prevention as this horrible thing can be prevented and it is a relatively new disease to the cat world.) I made the hardest decision of my life to put her to sleep and end her suffering. (I was not a "believer" in putting animals to sleep prior to this experience, but she was in pain for too long and had no hope of recovery. Last Saturday her liver shut down and I could not stand to see her in pain any longer due to my own selfish desire to have her with me in any condition as long as I could. She went to sleep in my arms looking straight into my eyes. I will never forget that look or what she has meant to me. God bless her please and don't ever let her forget us as I will think about her daily for the rest of my life. I pray for that Rainbow Bridge.

Suzanne Kemp Melton

Gypsy was my dearest and closest friend. She was my little shadow. She was my dancing partner. She was a 10 pound package of dynamite. Her husband (Fussymutt) and two daughters (Ebony and Bridie) definitely knew who was boss. But her eyes, big, bright and soft, always spoke to me. I will never, ever forget her. I miss her so much!

Marion Murphy

Our first cat, Gypsy Rose Beautyheart Faithful Save-the-Whales Schlayer, passed into glory on July 17, 1998. She was beautiful--part calico, part Maine coon cat--and we loved her. She helped us raise our children. She loved to sleep with us, and her loud purring was like a furnace on a cold winter night. She caught a garter snake once, and brought it--alive--to our front step. She goes to join her brother cat, Rocky, who passed on seven weeks ago. She is deeply missed by younger sister, Chelsie the Mouse Queen, and by her people, Len and Sara.
