In Loving Memory

I knew this day would come— the day you drew your final breath. The years you spent beside me were far too few for the tears I’ve cried since you were laid to rest. You left this world carrying a piece of me. Keeping us together, even in death, is the only solace I have left.

Shishy, you had the biggest personality of any cat I have ever met. Everything you did was in the most extreme way possible. Your need to steal food, your cuddles, your fights with your brother and sister, everything was just so you. We want you to know how much we love you, since the day you arrived in our home, with the biggest, roundest face ever we couldn't not adore you. Know we will always miss you, and continue to think of all the silly little things you did in everything we do. You are the biggest baby Mr. Geegs. Thank you for giving us an amazing 8 years with you. Love and miss you forever.

Oh Zeppers. There are not enough words to thank you for everything you have done for me. I’ve wanted you since I was a little girl. My dream came true October 24 2019 and everyday with you since then has been the best time of my life. As we continue on this life, I will continue to think about you everyday. I will continue to speak about you to anyone who will listen. You live on through our memories, pictures, and videos. You were the most special, most sweetest boy. Thank you for choosing us. You will forever be in my heart. I love you, my best friend, the goodest boy ever, my babyboy for life. — your hooman

You were my best friend and my world. Thank you for all the precious memories. I love you forever Luna

My first bunny. I'll love and miss you forever. 9 years was not enough. rest easy bup bup.

Jack, you are forever in my heart. Nothing can ever replace you. Thank you for appearing outside my apartment 11.5 years ago. I am so grateful you were in my life for as long as were. I love and miss you forever.

For 18 years you were my best friend, my side kick, my roommate, my baby and all the things that bring joy into a persons life. You were with me through some very difficult moments where I know I couldn’t even be the best mommy to you. But you were there to give all the kisses and hugs. As long as there was a treat or some food available, you were happy. You started out sleeping in a laundry basket because grandma had to keep an eye on you and then a short stay with your Titi Lily and Titi Demi meant you became a bed dog and stayed that way. We bought our condo together when you were a year old and you became a beach living dog, although you weren’t a fan of the beach itself you loved the sun. We traveled coast to coast and I took you places you weren’t supposed to be but you knew how to be quiet in your travel bag and mostly went unnoticed. You even went to work with me sometimes and was my uber sidekick. Everyone that met you adored you, even those that weren’t ’dog people.’ You had a charm about you that made people fall in love with you and that face was just the epitome of cuteness. You had a fear of heights just like your mommy. You loved food just like your mommy. You could usually sense BS people just like your mommy. You were Milo, Milito and just Lito to all who loved you. Grandma would keep you for her doggy day care days and I’d drop you off before work. She fed you all the gourmet meals and always topped it off with a ‘dessert’ even when mommy said enough was enough. Grandpa called you Milowitz and always had a moment to give you a belly rub. I always knew that you’d go before me but it doesn’t make the pain any less. There is such a big hole in my life now and can’t be filled because it holds your shape. Every space of our home has an imprint of your impact so much so that I haven’t been able to move anything yet. I can only hope that you knew just how much you were loved, appreciated and valued in this life and forever thereafter. I am so grateful to have been able to hold and love on you in your last moments and shared that time with Grandma and Grandpa. You were in your home in your favorite spot with the sun beaming behind us. It was a most devastating and cherished moment in my life. Although we are left devastated I know that you are no longer in pain or struggling and all your siblings and Uncle Jack were there to greet you. May you eat all the sweet potato, turkey and sweet peas to your hearts desire with all the extra helpings your friend G tried to convince me to give you. I hope you are having Starbucks pup cups everyday till your belly can’t hold it anymore as they were your favorite treat. Mommy, grandma/grandpa and all your family earth side will miss you and love you forever. I love you Milo!

Our dearest Beanie we love you so very much. Go run and play with all your buddies. You will forever be in our hearts.

Dino Spumoni you were the best dog and gave us so many wonderful memories. We love you and we will miss you immensely. Thank you the best 13 years of our lives.

My dog Ikifar was the sweetest most lovable dog ever. Even though he was crippled he didn't let that bother him. He enjoyed being with his mommy, he enjoyed his companion Nala, and when his daddy Jim was alive he enjoyed being with him. He knew how to make his mommy feel loved and special. He was always with mommy wherever she was. I thank him everyday for how much joy he brought into my life. I am going to miss not having you by my side wherever I am. I am going to be lost without you. He was my everything. I thank you for the love you brought to me. I am truly going to miss you. You will always be in my heart little angel!!
