To My Baby Boy! I will love you forever. You have had a special place in my heart since day one. I Hated that you left me at such an early age, you were so young.. But I hope you are not hurting no more. You were my special baby boy. You always made me laugh, not a day was boring. You never made me cry, until you slipped away in front of my very eyes. Don't forget I will always love you & you will always have that same special place in my heart. I love you Baby Boy..

You saved my life (literally) twice. You loved me unconditionally always. You were the one I couldn't part with and asked my mom if we could both move into her home when I moved the family to Florida. And she knew. You became Squeeky's staunch defender (even though you were a cat-chaser by nature). I loved you, so. You were and still are a part of my soul. My screen-saver is a picture of you with Kahn as a baby. Now you join Europa, your other baby, in the Fields. I still miss you. I still cry sometimes. Your son has lost his hard edge. He's trying to be my one-and-only. He has my hugs and kisses, and my heart, but never like you did.

Where do I begin? Velcro was one of my kids. He was family. He always there when we needed him. He could sense when things weren't right. He was loving, playful, gentle, and understanding. Now he is gone. He was tragically hit by a car. In the blink of an eye, he was gone. How did it happen? Who knows? He will be sorely missed. He cannot be brought back. He will never be replaced. We have another cat, but he could never be Velcro.

I miss you so much, my precious little Susie. You truly taught me the meaning of unconditional love, and I will carry you in my heart forever. A part of you is here with me, and part of me has gone with you. I look forward to the time when we can be together once again.

Vicassandra, our dear sweet Vicky. You were Kendra's bun, but you were our child. We will always love you, sweet girl, we will never forget your honk, honks, dancing in circles with the box on your nose, and how you mushed down, with eyes closed, for pets. We will meet you on the other side of the bridge, Cassandra girl. My heart is bursting into pieces -- we miss you more than words can express.

Victor loved Elaine very much and he loved her friend John too. when when Elaine would go out of sight, Victor would howl with a howl that shook the truck. Elaine mourns Victor. But she knows he is trying to get over the Bridge and that she will see him again some day.

Elaine Engler

Victor, I feel like part of my heart and soul died right along with you. you are everywhere I look, but no matter where I look and hope to see you, you're not there... The only comfort I have is knowing that you and Ace are together now, and I think we both sensed him waiting patiently at the Bridge for you once we found out that your swollen lymph nodes meant cancer and not just an infection. The hardest thing I ever had to do in my life was hold you in my arms in the back seat of the car as the vet gave the injection, yet it could be no other way. I didn't want you to be scared, and I knew you were ready to go. I can still see you sitting in that cage at the Animal Rescue League when you were a few months old, holding up your paw because someone had taught you that trick before you were abandoned. I said, "Come on, puppy. You're outta here," and took you out to meet your new brothers, Sarge and Ace, who were waiting in the truck. I can't believe ten years went by so fast. I can't believe you're gone. I'll love and miss you forever, Victor, my sweet Little Yicky Pooters. And I pray the Rainbow Bridge is real. God, how I pray it's real.

Love, your "muzzer", Elaine.

She was the most beautiful puppy we had ever seen. We never thought that she would give us a lifetime of happiness. She gave all she could even until her last breath. She will be deeply missed and forever loved.

Rita, Richard and Agnes

Dear sweet Vinnie, you were with me during the hardest years of my life. You licked my tears away many an evening when it seemed nothing was going right in my life. I so wanted to make things work so you could always be in my life, but we couldn't get your illness regulated enough. I know we were together only a short time, but you will always be dear to my heart. Know that I think of you often, and hope that someday I will be able to play fetch with you again. Please watch over Dottie, I did not expect her to join you so soon, I miss her terribly, but I know she is with you and that your reunion with her was joyous. Squiggie misses you both so, as do I. Please know that I love you both dearly and I will see you one day at the bridge.

I love you, Stacie

Everyone says companion animals love unconditionally and there is nothing more true. It's been a year since my beloved cat Vixen passed on but my life has certainly been changed for the better since having had her in my life for 8.5 years. I wish it could have been longer but I'm thankful I had any time with her.

She helped me through my mother's illness and death from cancer and made me feel as though I was the most important person in the world.

It was horrible losing her. I felt as though my life ended when hers did. I wanted to die when she did but knew that was no way to honor her life and what she meant to me. I now volunteer for the Delaware Humane Association and help other animals in her honor. I know she's with me.

Thank you, Vixen, my angel, for coming into my life.

I Love You Sweetie

You were my best friend, constant companion of nine years, and soulmate forever. I will always miss you until we meet again at Rainbow Bridge.
