If you wish to send a card please add a dollar and I will send it to House of Puddles in his name. He always said, “If you get a dollar from a lot of folks, it adds up.”
He cherished those who took care of Seniors. Humans and hounds alike.

Thank you Hospice. You changed my life for the better forever…..

    cat….

    revelations 21:4
    and god shall wipe away all the tears from their eyes; and there shall be more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.

    21:5
    and he that sat upon the throne said, “behold i make all things new. and he said unto me, write: for for these words are true and faithful.”

    cat..once again…you need, you ask..you got it. you are a friend..you are family. that it all that there is.

    so sorry.
