Rest In Peace LumberJack

I'm sorry I couldn't get you well. I hope you know that I tried so hard. I could tell in your eyes and your isolation that you needed to be released from pain and ready to leave this earth.

No matter, it was so hard to let you go. I was blessed to have you in my life, and I hope I made your last days good ones.

I'm sure by now you have met my father. I bet Andy is just completely enamored and in awe of you. Send him my best, tell him I love him, and take good care of each other.

Until the day comes that I join you, I will never forget you.

You will always remain my Higher Power. You will always be with me in my heart and in my soul.

Love,
Cindy

I am so sorry. I know that my Atlas welcomed he and Parlay and is showing them how things roll up there. My thoughts are with you. This is the worst.

Cindy I am so very sorry...........Jack was a very special boy and I have no doubt that you made him feel loved and wanted and gave him all you had to give during his time with you. You made the ultimate sacrifice in letting him go and leave his pain behind. (((((HUGS))))) to you and RIP Jack..........

Very sorry Cindy. He was such a big love, the sweetest boy. You did the right thing and sometimes thats the hardest. He is free now and thats the best you can give him.

Jack may have had the best times of his life with you and you did all you could for him. I'm very sorry.

((HUGS)) Cindy you clearly loved Jack. I know how hard you tried for him.

He had a great Gift given to him, you.

You saved him from a brutal death for certain.
You showed him how caring and gentle people can be. He got to enjoy a retirement and maybe experience some enjoyment that he had not been given a chance to have while he was a work horse.

The greatest Gift you gave to him was love, and a peace dignified passing.

Oh, Cindy. I am so saddened to hear of this news. You gave Jack the love and kindness that he needed in his last year. You showed him that humans are loving and giving. I am honored to have met him. He will be missed.

So sorry to hear about your loss. You did a wonderful thing by taking Jack in and caring so much for him. Not many people would do that.
