My crew consisted of
P.J., Smokey, Frisco,and Felicia.
That was my little family
for many years.
We went through so much together and
my crew was with me showing me
their love every day.
They became part of my very being,
both my heart and soul.
I first lost P.J. in Jan. 2000.
I had to make that painful
but kind decision when she became ill.
It took a long time and
many tears to go on but
I did with the help of my 3 other ones.
I lost my little Felicia in Aug. 2001
after a long battle with
chronic renal failure.
She passed away peacefully in my arms.
Again with many tears,
I mourned her passing.
I slowly came through that
with the help of my Smokey and Frisco.
In May of 2002 my Frisco started to drool.
A exam a the vets detected
a cancerous tumor in his lower jaw.
It was an aggressive form.
With chemo and radiation therapy
I was able to give him 4 more months
of quality life.
Sadly the tumor grew,
making it harder for him to eat and drink.
On Aug. 22, 2002 I had to make
another painful decision
when Frisco’s quality of life
was no longer there.
I am now mourning his passing
with many tears.
Each one of my guys took
part of me with them, but I find peace knowing
that P.J., Felicia, and Frisco are together
watching over me and Smokey
as our “guardian angels”.
P.J. was a yellow lab/German Shepherd mix
and Frisco & Felicia were littermate cats.
My family now consists of my cat Smokey(13 yrs.),
my husband Wayne(who also stood
by me during my losses)
our black lab Sheena(2 1/2 yrs.)
and a moody female iguana named Liz.
I still mourn the loss
of my 3 “kids”
but they are always in my heart
and will forever
be part of me.
With love forever,
Your mommy
