In memory of my sweetheart, Duke

We lost our Duke on New Year's Day, a few hours after midnight. He was 10 years old and had so many health problems; we could just see the sadness and discomfort in his eyes that night. He was ready to go--it was just too soon for my husband and me. We had only gotten him in June and we can only hope that his first home was as happy, comfortable, and treat-filled as ours was. We miss you, Duke, and the kitties do too.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family. I lost my girl Dharma on 28th December and the pain in my heart is like it will never go away. They are both at peace now and playing like they should be on Rainbow Bridge and looking down on us. Duke was very lucky to spend his last days with a family that loved him, and gave him comfort..

I am so sorry, but Duke left knowing that he was so loved by you. Take some comfort in that you gave him a loving home in the end. It sounds like he knew it was time to go and he is running healthy at the bridge now.

How wonderful that you gave Duke a great home for his last months. I am so sorry it could not have been a longer stay.

Godspeed dear Duke.

You gave Duke a great gift by bringing him into your home and loving him, even if it was for such a short time.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this sad time.
Godspeed Duke.
