In Loving Memory

She had the most kindest and gentle soul and we are honored that she gave us at least these beautiful 8 years.

Yesterday 02/14/26 me and my family said goodbye to our sweet girl Sandy💔. She was the best dog I ever had. I had her since I was 13 years old. I hope you enjoyed your last walk in the sunshine with me. We love her so much. Everyone who met her knows how of a loving girl she was🩷. I love you Sandy

Brulee was the sweetest and most beautiful cat. We loved her playfulness and quirky personality. She was a wonderful sister to her brother, Bandit, who passed in August. She is missed immensely.

We love you, Drake, and already miss you so much. Thank you for being the best boy. Run, baby, pain free. Xoxo, Nick, Amy and Millie

You are forever loved and always in our hearts. You were truly the sweetest boy. I miss your smile and how you always greeted me when I came home. I miss your snores. Until I can hold you again and kiss the bridge of your nose, run free in heaven.

We miss you and love you so much. You loved your walks and would prance through the neighborhood! Your snuggles remain unmatched. They were the best. You are in our hearts forever

On February 13, 2026, I had to say goodbye to my soul baby, Rico. Many know how much I lived for and loved him. My sweet baby came into this world on July 4, 2008. I’ve loved him for 17 1/2 years. That sounds like a long time but it is NOT long enough. It all went by so fast. The last year was tremendously heartbreaking watching him decline both physically and cognitively. I was grateful to have him on our last trips this past summer but I could see he just wasn’t enjoying it the way he used to. I saw the end coming so I decided to spoil him as much as possible these last few months (as if that were anything out of the ordinary). Early December, my partner and I decided that our little guy needed to rest. No more pain, no more confusion…just peace. So, with the heaviest of hearts, I made a call to Lap of Love to arrange for them to come to our home to help Rico cross over the Rainbow Bridge in January (I wanted one last Christmas with him). January came and I backed out, i couldn’t go through with it. A couple weeks in I realized I couldn’t put it off any longer, so I committed to February 13, 2026. This past week, Rico enjoyed all the things he wasn’t allowed to have (a whole hamburger, lots of bacon, ice cream). I bundled him up and took him outside to sit in the sun one last time. Lots of “one last times” through the rest of the day.. one last time sleeping in his bed, one last time feeding him dinner, one last time snuggling with him on the couch. This hurts so much!!! My little angel earned his wings😭💔🪽 Rest peacefully my sweet boy

Winslow, we love and miss you so very much. It's so hard and life is not the same without you. We miss your smiles, belly rubs, pitter patter of your feet on the floor. We miss your walks, chasing squirrels and rabbits, and of course your sweet, handsome face. We miss petting you, hugging you and playing with you. You loved the deck and backyard and will miss sitting out there in the sun with you. We hope you are running high above the sky now and ask that you watch over us. You are so loved and missed and you will never, ever leave our hearts. You came as part of our family at a time when the world had stopped, but you kept us going and got us through subsequent challenges of life. Continue sending us signs that you are still around us. Love you always and forever and ever.

Oscar Kitty, the sweetest, kindest soul. I remember shortly after adopting you, we were sitting in my dorm room (a dorm room you weren't allowed to live in btw but I adopted you anyway because I knew you were mine) I was holding you and I made you a promise that I would always protect you no matter what. I have tried to uphold my end of that promise for 14 years. You and I have a been through a lot over the years. We have moved more times than I can count and you were always such a trooper packing up your kitty toys and then we were on to the next adventure. You were such a resilant cat, never asking for much beyond being with your human and endless scratches. Its hard to accept that you aren't still here with me. That you aren't meowing at me for dinner when you hear me come home from work or jumping into bed at night demanding I pet you instead of reading my book, hogging my side of the bed or scaring Basil with your purring. You were such a good cat and you didn’t deserve this turn of fate. I hope you are at peace now and that you are parkouring off all the walls and furniture up there waiting for the time we get to be together again. I will miss you every day until then. 💔

Fourteen years ago you brought so much love and laughter into our home. And with every single minute of each day you made our lives whole. If love could have saved you, you would have lived forever. You were loved by all. Your personality filled the room. We will remember you forever for every memory you made with us. Kayaking in Lake George, traveling by train to Greenwich, vacationing in Montreal, listening to jazz on the New Haven Green, being our sous chef every time we cooked. God only knows what we would have been without you.
