We wanted you to know that after you went to heaven Nanette came over and we cried together. We hugged and touched you until we knew you were gone. She went home with us and then Hal and the boys came over. Phyllis rushed down from Lake Placid and stayed with us for many days. Elena then came and stay with us for several weeks. Dr. D and Omar get cookies now almost every week as Mom has been taking them. Omar put your photo up in the lobby and everyone loves you. Dr. K put up your photo in his office and it has his saying on it.

Your ashes are on our dresser and every time we go to the Lake we take you with us beside Mom in the back seat where you use to lay. Rocky of course still rides in the front seat and he misses you very much especially in the morning when he used to play with you. You would be proud of him as he is learning to behave better and we have a trainer to help us. He sleeps in the bed with us almost every night now... He has stopped going after cars and is getting better with people.

Sweetheart, I do not know where all that I wrote went, but I have put it back up above best I could.

There is something we must tell you, the day you died Mommy and Daddy had to go to a doctors appointment. You had wagged your tail to say good bye even when dying, as if you knew what Dad did not know. However, we really did not think you were going to die, because every time we took you to Dr. D you came out better. So we were denying the possibility that you would die. When they called us to say you were critical we could not believe it and then when we rushed to see you, we were held up in traffic and you died just before we got there... and we feel so terrible... but we keep thinking that you would say that is 'okay' that you understand. We are so sorry as we would have been there with you, but know that you would forgive us. We did all would could and hope it helped... WE LOVE YOU. DAD AND MOM

We miss you Mommy and Daddy
