Time is
Too slow for those who wait, Too swift for those who fear,
Too long for those who grieve,  Too short for those who rejoice.
But for those who love,  Time is not.

Baby was lost to bone cancer at the tender age of 3 years old. Baby was loved and cherished by Tom and Linda Franklin. May she now find peace and rest without pain.

What Baby's Mother had to say about losing her baby girl,  "She was as sweet going to meet the Lord as she has been all her short life. I have a huge hole in my heart. She was so perfect. She even smelled good. I could take a big deep whiff of her and it made me happy, even today. Baby has been a true gift from God to Tom and I. We have loved her so much and will always love her. I miss her so much. I am so glad we had the short, short time with her."

" MY PRECIOUS BABY KATIE WHO I MISS MORE THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE.  SHE WAS  

        THE LIGHT OF MY LIFE FOR ALMOST 12 YEARS.  SHE WAS A JOY EVERY DAY OF HER LIFE.

        YOUR LOVING MOM - PATTI MAURER           KATIE  9/13/1999 - 8/3/2011"

 

 

 

Guinness, our 12 yr. old darling, left us a week ago; and we'll never
be the same.   He was our heart, our soul, the love of our lives -
always.  Judy & Lew Bastian

The following three memorials were emailed to me. I would like to personally thank Char Klis for opening her home to the unloved, dogs that some would pass because of their "problems". These dogs are just as worthy as any dog on this site. These dogs are very special because of the horror they endured and still loved the humans that gave them nothing and took everything. Thank you Char for showing these little angels that all humans are not thoughtless and cruel. We should all morn their passing and be so lucky that once in our lives we would be loved so unconditionally.

Sweet Bess survived over 10 years in a puppy mill before being rescued.  I was to be her foster mom, and when she arrived she had eye, ear and dental infections, multiple medical problems, no hair and she smelled like a sewer.  I immediately fell in love with her and adopted her.  She became the “Queen” of my house and reigned for 14 months before her enlarged heart couldn’t go on any longer.  But she loved every day of those 14 months.

Logan was my first foster dog and my first ‘foster flunk’ (I adopted my own foster dog).  Rescued from a puppy mill, untreated eye and ear infections had left him blind and deaf and he had been cruelly debarked.  However, he had the most beautiful soul and was the sweetest dog I have ever met. 

- Char Klis

 

We miss you Baby Boo.

Love,

Mom, Babe, Weezie and Chico

Mac Bobier  -  May 1, 1991 to December 29, 2007

 

 

This is Mac, he was loved by the Bobier Family for 16 ˝ years.  He lived a very long, happy, spoiled life.  He had a personality larger than life.  He comforted us through many difficult times and always seemed to bring a smile to our faces just when we needed it.  Mac was a fighter but in the end he was unable to overcome a respiratory infection.  The memories of him will be timeless and he will be in our hearts forever.
