On January 2, Her Serene Felineness, Strawberry the Cat sailed away to the Gray Havens. She was 20 years old. She had clear skies and a beautiful moon to travel by.

Bon Voyage, Strawberry.

Sweet the coming on
Of grateful evening mild; then silent night
With this her solemn bird and this fair moon,
And these the gems of heaven, her starry train.

Christine I share in your sorrow of the loss of a close friend. Twenty years was quite a long life. On december 15th I also lost a close friend. My siamese cat named Mask. He was only eleven. He was a rescue kitten that we bottle fed and raised. He is survived by his brother Patch. May Strawberry and Mask rest in peace in the land where there are many butterflies to chase and the milk and tuna are plenty.

My sympathies. Early last May my wife and I lost our border collie, Corin. He was 15. His passing was incredibly hard to take. The Iroquois tell of the "long path" that we find after death. I hope someday to find all my four legged pals waiting for me on the "long path". It will be a sweet journey with such fine companions.

Christine, I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope you will remember all the wonderful times you spent together. In time, these memories will help turn your grief into fond memories of a beloved pet.

My sympathies . . .

Jeff

Christine, Terry & Chris, I'm really sorry to hear about all of your losses...
Even though we all know this is part of "life", it is never easy to see a friend go...

Clear skies to all,
