2024 Memorials

Bailey Breckenridge
02/08/2016-11/22/2024

Bailey had more sass and personality than many dogs we know. She was so stubborn but afraid of everything! Her nickname was Big Baby Bailey and she earned it time and time again. She loved to smile and purr even though she scared people every time. Our house is not the same without her. It is so quiet as she isn't bossing everyone! She is so missed by our family and her 2 dog sisters (Kiera & Saydee) and her cat (Milo, that she was petrified of). Cancer sucks and we wish you could have lived forever!

Bella

She was the most faithful, loyal and loving dog anyone could ever expect to have in their lifetime. I was fortunate to have had her in my life for 13 1/2 years. Missed terribly but never forgotten.

Hunter Peterson
(November 22nd, 2011 - November 16th, 2024)

For 13 wonderful years, Hunter was not just our pet; he was a cherished member of our family. From the moment we brought him home at just 8 weeks old, with his floppy ears, blue eyes, and boundless energy, he filled our hearts with joy and our home with laughter and love. Hunter was a dog of simple yet profound pleasures. He lived for his Summer walks, jumping with excitement at the reach of his harness. He adored truck rides, with his ears flapping in the breeze, and the thrill of chasing neighborhood cats, though he never meant them any harm. Frozen carrots were his favorite treat, and the mere sight of one would send his tail wagging in delight. His soul found peace in the mountains, and he was most alive when he was swimming or playing in the water. Hunter was, above all, a gentle and loving soul. He possessed an unwavering loyalty to his family, offering comfort in times of sorrow and sharing in our moments of joy. He was by our side through life's milestones-when my wife and I began dating, when we said "I do," when we bought our first home, and when we welcomed our twin daughters into the world. The house feels emptier without him, his absence is a void that cannot be filled. Yet, we are grateful for every memory he gave us, every wag of his tail, every nuzzle of comfort, and every "welcome home" greeting. Hunter was the best dog we could have ever asked for, and he will remain forever in our hearts. We love you, Bubbas. Rest easy, my friend.

Kie

Kie was a loyal kind and perfect fur baby.

Lola

Lola you were a one in a million. You went too soon and you were a huge part of our family. I will miss your beautiful brown eyes always watching me. I loved our morning walks in the Greenbelt watching you prance like a dear while you looked for squirrels. You were a gift from heaven and you will always live in my heart.

Ebony Bonnells
11/9/2024

Ebony Dawn of Star Thunder she is born 7/2/2010 and she is died at 11/9/2024. I had her put to sleep because was not doing good. She was not eating and she was losing weight. She was 14 1/2 years old. And she has left big void in my life. She had 2 litters of puppies, a total of 9 puppies. I wish that I would have keep one of her little girls. Her Mother's name was Sasha Mia Ling Le the litter that Sasha had was four boys and the last was Ebony so a total of 5 puppies. Her father's name was Cody Felix of Star Thunder. I hope that this pictures of Ebony will work for you.

Fargo

Doctor and Tech were very kind and professional. It was the right choice at the right time. My second best friend for nearly 14 years was ready to go to squirrel heaven. We'll miss her.

Tucker
1-9-2009 11-9-2024

Thank you for helping us say goodbye to Tucker. I really appreciate your help during this very difficult time. You had us trained from day one! Thank you for all the love you brought to our family. Thank you for being there for me through all the ups and downs. You adapted so well each time we moved--so many moves! You were the one thing that I could count on to never change--happy just to be with us. Thank you for all the road trips and car camping along the way. You made me feel protected and safe. Thank you for greeting us at the door every day and sharing your bed with us every night. Thank you for giving me a reason to get up every morning. Thank you for hanging on so long. It comforts me to know you are no longer in pain and that your spirit is free. God knew how much I needed you in my life. You are the best dog ever! Love you forever sweet boy!!

Dewi
11/23/24

Our beautiful Dewi left this life after 13 yrs, and the sad loss of his joyful, vibrational energy in our home and our life is definitely felt. It's painful and ghostly. He added such another beautiful dimension to our life, and it's so hard to say goodbye and go through the grief. Dewi was a calm, confident, but silly force of presence in a beautiful physical body, and the memories of him will be forever in our hearts. He will now be with his lifelong companion Dora, who left not long ago (also posted on this site Jan 31, 2023).

Eggs Kanudel
March 5, 2013 - November 9, 2024
Gotcha day: September 20, 2013

Saturday, November 9, we said goodbye to our beloved Eggs Kanudel. She had several major issues: mast cell cancer, arthritis and a 3rd degree atrial/ventricular blockage. It was getting harder and harder for her to get around but being the fighter she was, she struggled through each day to be as close to me as possible. Thankfully it has been cool enough for me to take her in the car with me wherever I went. She loved car rides. She loved road trips. DaddyBob and I took her with us to Joseph, OR in October and she had a great time. We wanted to give her one last road trip...We had a rocky road the first couple of years which was my fault because I was not familiar with the breed. I had a big learning curve! But she stuck with it, I stuck with it, and it smoothed itself out. She is so missed...I find myself looking at the clock to see if it's time to give her her meds or checking her food bowl to see if she's eaten. It was a very difficult decision to make but it was the right one for her. Eggs died peacefully in my arms at home. Thank you Boise Bully Breed Rescue for saving her from euthanasia! Thank you Gentle Goodbyes, for your kindness and understanding during a very difficult time.

Winston

The color in my life has diminished since you left Winston. It happened too fast at the end and I always hoped I would have more years with you. You and I always just got each other. There was a very real connection from the day I brought you home from the shelter and I don't know how to adjust to not having you with me. Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for loving me. My heart hurts. Sometimes I can't quite catch my breath.
You made me a better person and a much better pet parent. I will forever miss your stubborn, diva like, and yet sweet self. I miss being sandwiched between you and Gunnar every night. I miss walking with you every day and caring for you. You were loved. I hope more than anything that you are alright now and that we will be together again. You are in my heart now and forever.

Gus

Gus was a huge part of our family for over fifteen years and such a sweet kitty. He will be greatly missed.

Wiley

Wiley has been part of our family since he was about 3 years old, when we rescued him. At first, he was skittish and aloof, but once he started feeling safe, it was clear that he had a lot of love to give. Always a gentle dog, he was well behaved and was the best at nuzzling up to show his affection. His best pal was our other rescue dog, Oakley, even though she liked to kick him off of his bed so she could have the warm spot. He let her though, and this was just one example of his gentle-dogly behavior. He never pulled on the leash or barked just to be heard- and every evening after dinner, he would seek out first Mom and then Dad to give us special attention. We loved the sparkle in his eye and perky hop whenever he was excited... such a happy dog. He did require extra love and hugs when the world threw crazy and scary things at him, such as thunder and lightning storms, or fireworks... and the worst thing of all, the dreaded beep (the dead battery alert on the smoke detector)... but we were happy to help him. He always gave the love back again. He also enjoyed visits from Mom and Dad's adult "kids", who always took the time to love on him- and he especially had the girls wrapped around his paw. Our 8 ½ years with him has flown by. It was hard to see him turning white and getting stiff and sore. It was especially hard to see him suffering when he got so sick.

Wiley, we wish you could have lived forever. It has been heartbreaking to have to say goodbye to you- but you will live on in our hearts always. Good boy.

Trixi

We said goodbye to our shih tzu, Trixi, on Nov. 2, 2024 as she entered her 19th year. She had the temperament of a cat, aloof most times, but always knew she was loved and well cared for. Our family will always hold a special place for her in our hearts with her loss.

Monty

Monty blessed us with 17 wonder years. He was the sweetest guy ever. Fly high Monty

Hazel

Run free beautiful girl. Thank you for 12 beautiful years.

Sweet Coco

Today, October 28, 2024 is the first morning in nearly 16 years without you.

No jingle of your collar as you stretch and shake after waking from your slumber, no toenails clicking on the hardwood floor. I'm struggling with my grief and the tears don't seem to know when to stop.

I'm in bed now, drinking coffee and remembering the mornings when you would lay on my chest and wait for your back rub. You'd close your eyes and softly groan when I massaged your shoulders and paw at me when I'd stop to take a sip of my then lukewarm coffee. It was a daily ritual that I will sorely miss.

I'm drinking coffee alone today. The French doors in my bedroom are open and my gaze has fallen to the courtyard table where our family held you for the last time. I may have to sell that table because the sight of it is too heart-wrenching for me to bear.

I've had many pets...the Heidis, Sophie, Pepper, Sprinkles, Rudy...all of whom I've said tearful goodbyes. But you Coco were the hardest to let go.

Your little body was failing to keep up with your spirit. You'd lost your sight, your hearing, and I could see that walking and getting up and down were becoming more and more difficult for you. Still, I saw your tail wagging and you still gave away plenty of stinky kisses when I nuzzled my cheek next to your little brown nose. You still never turned down a treat of popcorn (buttered, of course) or sliced apples, or bits of hamburger stirred into that awful kidney diet kibble the vet prescribed. But I had to carry you to your food bowl, and carry you outside and I realized that wasn't really a very dignified way for you to be living.

Your last day was a good one. The fall weather in Boise was glorious and we took you for a walk along the river. You did well for a little while, stopping to sniff and mark your "Coco was here" spots. But soon we had to carry you, dad and I taking turns. Afterward we treated you to a whipped cream pup cup and a few licks of ice cream.

We took some photos that day. I can't bear to look at them just yet. Kelly Ann made paw print ornaments that we'll forever put on our Christmas trees, and I have your collar - all these things are reminders of you but they aren't you and they can never replace your warm, fluffy body.

I miss you terribly Coco. I loved - love you so much and I pray to God that your are still with me somehow. You will never be forgotten.

Scooter

On Saturday August 24th, 2024, we had to say goodbye to Scooter. We miss you so much little girl, but know you are no longer in pain. Hopefully you're having fun playing with Shorty and Sheba.

Scooter was only a month away from her 17th birthday, so she had a long, happy and healthy life. What an extraordinarily accomplished "farm" dog she was in all her 7 lbs of glory. She was a faithful helper in the shop and on all repair jobs around the place...and she really loved tractor and 4-wheeler rides with her "dad" Gary! When a sprinkler needed repair, we will never forget her being down in the hole scoping out the situation and ultimately helping with dirt removal.

Thank you Gentle Goodbyes. You've always been there when we needed your heartfelt kindness and reassurance. You'll never know how much we truly appreciate the services you provide.

Charlie Nuttall

Meant a lot to us. Here is a little tribute about our baby boy. If the picture doesn't work being sent this way, please let me know!

Friday, October 18, 2024 heaven became a little brighter. We said goodbye to our beloved Charlie. The loss of our treasured boy seems unbearable, but we are holding his love and memories dear to our hearts. He was the snuggliest, friendliest, happiest, most loyal boy ever (May 5, 2009 - October 18, 2024). With all of our hearts, we miss this precious guy so much. Until we meet again our sweet boy, Rest in Peace, we love you.

Princess Pinky
11/15/2010 to 10/15/2024

Almost fourteen years ago, while recovering from surgery, I found myself longing for some "new life" in my home. Soon after, Pinky came to live with me as a tiny kitten. Pinky was a "love me on my terms" kind of cat, but she was such a great addition to my household. In her almost 14 years, she had to put up with two different dogs. My papillon, Boo (younger by seven years and about 5 pounds lighter in weight), pestered her like a little sister, always wanting to play. I was constantly saying, "Poor cat." Although, to be honest, I think Pinky loved it. Pinky was active and very strong, able to soar up onto the fridge, then onto the tops of the cabinets. But she was so lazy when I tried to "exercise" her with one of those fishing pole type toys. She would jump at it once, then flop onto her back and just swipe at it lazily as it passed over her. I was the one who got the exercise. The window washer always got such a kick out of her because she would sock the window over and over again as he moved the squeegee up and down the glass. She loved to get up high and lay in the sun coming through the windows above the kitchen cabinets. Our morning routine in autumn/winter is where I am missing her most. As soon as she heard the furnace kick on in the morning, she would rush in and sit on the bathroom register while I got ready for the day. I find myself expecting her to show up again, even though I know she won't. Thanks, Pinky, for all the sweet memories of you. You brought joy to my home. And Boo misses you too. And thank you, Doctor and Tech, for making this difficult decision so much easier than it would have been.

Lady Fondaco

Our sweet Lady passed away on September 1 2024

The memories of her will always be cherished. There isn't a day that passes where we don't talk about a memory that we have of her. She was a very loving dog and always wanted to take care of our other dogs; which were older than her. We miss her golden eyes and her fun personality.

Lady Lou we miss you so much and hope you're running with the bears.

Spencer

I was gifted my best friend when I was 4 years old and couldn't decide between the name Squidward or Britney. I ended up with Spencer from I-Carly and that suit him perfectly. Spencer had been my best friend for 12 years almost 13 his birthday is in December but we didn't know the day so i laid out 31 pieces of dog food. and he chose the 19th so his birthday has forever been December 19th. He's been there for me through everything. From bad days to even worse ones he found ways to light them up in amazing ways. Watch out he's a bit of a model when he's in the light as you can see, we definitely had fun with the time we had together. I'm so glad i took so many pictures and videos of our time together. I miss my handsome boy so much it pains me i know in my heart he's in heaven running, playing, and sunbathing. when my time comes he's the first one I'll run up too to greet. I love you Spencer besties for life.

Roxy

This is our sweet Roxy girl at the Oregon Coast. We adopted her and her bonded pair mate from the Pocatello shelter when they were about 10. Her pal Leo who was also very sweet passed several years ago. They previously belonged to an elderly couple who passed away and the dogs ended up at the shelter. She was very shy except at mealtimes. She would spin and jump for her dinner. We hope she is with her pal Leo and her previous family.
Thanks Gentle Goodbyes for the tender way you treated her in her last moments.

Jack,

Jack Loved people and was the neighborhood visitor, he was afraid of no person or other animals. Everyone will miss him.

Sadie Garvin
2009 - October 5, 2024

Sadie was the most determined and gentle dog a person could ask for. We have a large backyard with no fence. So we tried an Invisible Fence and shot collar. Well that didn't work at all. She would just run right through it. So we put in a 4 foot chain link fence. It wasn't long before she found every way to get out. She would dig under. So we put railroad ties along the base. If she saw the gate latch wasn't locked, she would lift it. Even when we thought we had everything secure she would find a way. She always stayed in the neighborhood, never ran off. And was always waiting for us at the door when we returned. She just wanted to be free. She was Renee's companion every day for 10 years when she had the Snap-on tool truck. She had her bed in the back of the truck. Customers would come out just to pet Sadie and maybe give her a treat. She loved to chase tennis balls and catch frisbees. I could never throw a tennis ball far enough to keep her busy. So one day I bought a tennis racket so I could really hit the ball far. That was the ticket. And like all Labradors, she loved the water. Fetching sticks in a pond or lake, wading through a river, was like heaven for her. But she hated loud noises, like thunder and fireworks, so we always stayed home on the 4th of July to comfort her when the noises would begin. She also loved to go camping and ride in the back of our side by side ATV. She was so gentle around our grandkids. When she was 8, and our first granddaughter was still a small baby, Sadie would lay next to her. Even if the baby would crawl on and around her, it never bothered her. It was like she was her protector. Sadie was a special dog with a huge personality. So to honor her, I will sprinkle her ashes outside the fence, in her favorite place to lay and wait for us to come home. And there she will be free forever. Sadie gave us 15 1/2 years of joy, and I miss her so much.

Rhian
2005- 2024

Thank you for being so gentle and caring with Rhian in her last moments with us.

Lexi

This is Lexi; aka: LexiPuppy, PuppyCat, Lex-a-Loo, Lex-Lex. We were blessed to have 12+ years with her. She came to us at 8 weeks old and was a sweet, smart, high energy runt of the litter. Lexi loved to run, whether it was along hiking trails, winters in Ann Morrison Park during off-leash months; or, just playing in the back yard with our other Lab, Galoot (he passed 2023). Lexi loved road trips. Jingle the truck or car keys and she was ready for an adventure; even if it was just to run errands. She was an excellent travel companion and she joined us on many trips throughout the Northwest States and Canada. Her favorite "people food" was roast turkey. Lexi eagerly anticipated a few turkey scrapes might "accidentally" fall on the floor while it was being carved. Everyday she woke up joyful, bursting with energy. She pranced alongside you, tail wagging furiously because she knew she would get morning belly rubs. Lexi was well loved and will be missed but not forgotten. We are grateful to Gentle Goodbyes for helping our girl transition peacefully.

Mel LeClaire
11/9/10 - 9/24/24

Mel was a purebred Labrador Retriever who started life as a service dog puppy trainee with Canine Companions for Independence (CCI). Our teenager raised him from eight weeks to eighteen months, and taught him basic commands and excellent manners. When Mel was returned to Santa Rosa, CA for advanced training and eventual placement with a companion, he went on strike. Sometimes that Labrador stubbornness manifests itself that way, which is not what CCI wants in a working dog. They offered him back to us as a pet, and we happily accepted. Mel didn't tend to have emotional highs and lows, but it was obvious how much he had missed us when he saw us again. Apparently, home for him meant being with us. We enjoyed being with our Labradork every day, and all of our friends loved him too. We will always miss him.

Simba

With the cutest little freckled nose, and vocally opinionated, Simba was full of life and personality. He was super kind hearted and knew no strangers! He'd head-butt you to say hello and let you know you're not done petting him... he'll be greatly missed! Such a cool majestic cat!

Jezzie

Thank you for your compassionate goodbye.

Trixie

Our Dear Trixie was born in a kennel in Iowa March 7, 2007.

My son purchased her in a pet store in California. My husband and I quickly became Grandma and Grandpa. Our son would drop her at our house so we could doggie sit while he was working. When he would come to pick her up Trixie would hide from him because she didn't want to leave. She chose us as her people. Not long after that our son realized she was better off with us. I had never had a small dog and thought that she was just not a real dog and that it was ridiculous that people put clothes on them. Well not too long after that I was dressing her up and being one of those people. She captured our hearts and became the center of our world. Trixie traveled everywhere with us in our RV. She had traveled in every form of transportation, plane, train, boat, car, truck, bicycles. She traveled across the United States with us. We gave her the best life, but she gave us so much more. Trixie was my best friend and constant companion. She had quite the personality. She loved to chase lizards and bring them to me like it was a prize. She was great at rearranging the pillows on the bed. I loved her sweet snuggles and her crazy zoomies when she was happy. We lost a piece of our hearts the day she past and Trixie will never be forgotten. Gentle Goodbye's gave her a final gift. She was suffering with a lot of pain from Arthritis and had a ruptured eye along with other medical problems. So we made the difficult decision to take away her suffering. Her death was quick and painless without fear. The Doctor and her technician came to our house quickly and were so kind and gentle with her, making sure she was comfortable. That day was the hardest day of my life but they made it bearable. Just knowing she wasn't afraid or anxious gave us some peace. Thank you Gentle Goodbyes for your kindness and for giving her the end she deserved, because she gave our family so much more. 17 years of her precious life filled with laughter and tears and constant companionship. We will miss you my sweet girl everyday. So for now it is goodbye until one day I see you again when I cross over to meet Jesus. I pray he holds you and snuggles you like your Grandma would If I could be with you. Goodbye my Baby girl.

Albert
08/30/2019 - 09/06/2024

Hello family, friends and others reading this. Here is our memory of our best boy ever! In August 2024, we found swollen lymph nodes on his body and we attempted to treat it with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories. This was unsuccessful and we had biopsies done and discovered that he had Lymphoma. We had a couple of meetings with vets and an oncologist. After hearing what all the options were we decided the most humane and practical thing to do was to say goodbye to Albert when his quality of life started to decline. About 2 days prior to his passing we noticed he was starting to have issues breathing and was very restless. If you would have asked me years ago what my favorite kind of dog was I probably couldn't give you an answer. From day one my wife has told me she wanted a corgi. I was very skeptical at first but she found this sweet little male corgi. We purchased Albert and brought him home. When I tell people that Albert was the best dog I've ever owned, I couldn't be more accurate! He was potty trained in less than a week. He only had two accidents in our house ever. He was very gentle and well behaved even as a puppy. His chewing was minimal (other than taking random items outside, which he never chewed) LoL. As he grew older I quickly discovered that now my favorite breed of dog is a corgi. Albert made me fall in love with him and the breed. He listened great, never ran off and loved every member of our family. I could write paragraph after paragraph of all the things that were exceptional about this dog. I have never cared for or loved a dog more than I loved him. I'm most sad that I didn't get more time with him. I will never forget him and how good he was. I will remember this dog for the rest of my life. Thank you for taking the time to read this about Albert. We appreciate it! Thank you to Gentle Goodbyes for making this most difficult time as smooth as could be. Enjoy the picture we have of our "Goodest Boy"!!

Maci

Hi my name is Maci, I'm a Catahoula Leopard Australian Shepherd Pit mix. I had many important jobs. I was a my daddy's best friend, and my mom's protector. I was always taking them for walks, playing ball or frisbee. I also helped mom bake cakes, I watched over the cakes while they were cooling and always had to make sure the frosting tasted just right. I also kept dad entertained by playing where's the ball or which hand is the treat in. I have always been so amazingly smart. Especially when it come to belly rubs. I would stalk mom & dad and get so excited that my tail would beat on the floor. Then when they would walk by... BOOM, I would roll on my back!! They could not resist me because I'm so stinking cute. In my last days I was still thinking of them. My parents would like to end with these words " we loved you your whole life, we will miss you for the rest of ours".

Asher

Asher was a good little boy; he was 7 pounds of pure personality. He was equal parts curious, cute, strong willed and fearless and he loved his family very much, especially mommy. When we raised chickens, he instinctively knew they were safer together and he constantly herded them close with his nose. He loved to hike and there was never a rock or boulder that he did not believe that he could scale and he would always attempt to, it was rare to find a rock that proved him wrong. One time on a scramble, when the stakes of failure would have been catastrophic, Asher scrambled up the side off an extremely steep boulder near the summit of a mountain and somehow managed to get to the top of the 10-foot pitch. There were several occasions we got lost in the wilderness or took wrong turns and Asher always knew when we were lost and his little ears would stand on end, together in alert mode, and he would lead us back to our starting point. When he found the way, or his tough barking scared away larger animals, or he did surprising things to make his daddy proud, Asher would puff out his little chest and prance around with pride smiling. He loved car rides, Little Animal (our cat), cuddled time on the couch, ice cream, The Bone, rotisserie chicken, the snow, big rocks and protecting his land and family. Asher will always be in our hearts and we love and miss him in our lives, the absence of his warm little body in the bed, the sound of his little paws, and his never ending need to be close to us for the 15 years we were blessed to have him as a member of our pack.

Scooby Doo

Bridget Shults

Coraline
2012-2024

This is Coraline, my beautiful girl. She was the most laid back, affectionate kitty I ever met. Her purr was so loud you could hear her in the next room. Coraline moved with us three times, even across state lines and it didn't even faze her. I loved her dearly and hoped we would have many more years together, but I'm so thankful I got to have her in my life. I will always miss my sweet girl.

Tucker

We will miss our protective, furry best friend & family member Tucker, who always made us laugh and smile with his goofy & fun personality. Thank you for helping to raise Hudson. We know you are now running around playing in snow, tearing up boxes, chasing squirrels and barking for laser tag. We are so very grateful and have been so blessed to have had such a loving and wonderful dog. You are Forever in our hearts, our sweet baby boy Tucker.

June

Jack Jack

We had to say goodbye to my best friend Jack Jack on 9/1/24. Hardest day of my life. He brought so much love to our home. 12 years wasn't enough time with you. I know you have angel wings now and you are watching over me. I'll think of you every day. My heart is with you.

Winnie

Ryan and Tyler's beloved Boston Terrier, Winnie, passed away peacefully at his home on Monday, September 2, 2024. He was a loyal companion, a source of endless joy, and a true testament to the power of love and resilience.

Rescued from a local humane society in 2019, Winnie came into his dad's lives with a heart full of hope and a spirit that was simply irresistible. His gentle nature, copious amounts of kisses, love, and infectious gaze filled his home and dad's hearts with warmth and happiness. Winnie enjoy traveling, camping with his dads, stroller rides (no walking for him!), and snuggling with a blanket on the couch.

Winnie was a constant source of comfort and companionship, always at home ready to greet his dads with a happy face and gentle sweet kisses. Though they deeply grieve the loss of their beloved boy, they are eternally grateful for the time they spent together - he enriched his dad's lives more than they ever knew possible. Winnie's memory will live on in their hearts forever.

Winnie is survived by his two dads, Ryan and Tyler, and his younger brother, Ryder, also a Boston Terrier.

Rocky

We miss him like crazy. Thank you for caring for him. He was a one any only and loved so much. My name is Rocky. I grew up in Michigan, but loved to travel and loved my adventures in Idaho! Chicken nuggets were my favorite treat and I got plenty of them! I greeted all guests with a toy in my mouth! It was my thing. I loved my people Immensely and look forward to seeing them again in Heaven!

Jax
11/24/2016-8/15/2024.

We love you and we miss you baby boy. We love you and we miss you baby boy.

Koda

He was the sweetest good boy who had nothing but pure love in his heart at all times! He was the true definition of a gentle giant. Even though he was weighing in at 141lbs, his favorite toys were the smallest squeaky little cat toys. He definitely thought he was a lap dog and his favorite seat in the house was on his humans laps. Even though he was the sweetest, he could also be very sassy! He loved to take himself for walks, and would only calm down if we would let him hold his own leash (or as I called it his emotional support leash). For fun he loved to be sassy and talk back to me with his deep bark as we would chase each other around the house. His favorite things besides his humans were his leash, spray cheese, sniffing anything and everything, his blue blanket on the couch, and the snow! He was so smart! Always trying to keep the peace by speaking up if he thought anyone was getting too rowdy, waiting to get on the couch until his blue blanket was spread out, and even taught himself to stand between my legs while I was. walking like a police dog! He was his mammas personal bodyguard. The world won't be the same without this big lovable sassy giant. He brought everyone he was near so much happiness and love in what felt like such a short time that we had him. Rest in peace my big handsome boy! We all cannot wait to see you again!

Cujo

Where do I begin, to tell the story of how great a love can be? The sweet love story that is older than the sea... The sweet love story of what Cujo was to me? Where do I start... 14 years ago, this tiny soul rescued me. He's the Chihuahua in the picture. Scrawny, dramatic, larger then life... Everything there is to love about a Chihuahua. I could talk about his early years, the days when he was an almost feral little turd that filled by days with endless chaos... But ours is a love story for the ages and it is nothing with the true love of his life, the toy poodle Chucky. His best friend. His son. The only dog he's ever loved. We went through three rescues trying to find a dog he wouldn't fight with, because he didn't like strangers, he didn't know what to do with toys and he needed a friend. His soulmate for the last 8 years of his life. I shared this picture because it truly shows Cujo as he was, the sweetest, most loving soul... I never had a family, until these two. Chucky completed us and we are lost without Cujo... Somehow, we will find a way to carry on. I will miss him so... Oh my Cujo, I will rescue another, but there will never be another you. I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, forever and always my baby you'll be. Fly free sweet boy, until we meet again.

Coco Ramírez
February 28, 2011- June 15,2024

Hi everyone, my name is Coco Ramirez (fyi I'm a boy, the name Coco fit me better lol). I was my momma's bff for 13.5 years. I loved pizza, chicken nuggets, hamburgers, carne asada, coffee, tamales, and pupaccinno, I loved to sunbathe and supervise my mom while she did yard work. I was just a puppy when mom was just starting her journey to becoming an RN. Life just kept happening but she never gave up! My mom finally made it after trying for 14 years. I got to see mom go from being a CNA of 17 years to an RN . Oliver my brother, became part of our journey 7 years ago.

I was diagnosed with kidney disease back in March. For the last 3 months of my life, my mom was my nurse 24/7 until my very last day. On our last day, my mom danced with me and sang to me "you are my sunshine", we went on a walk with my brother Oliver. We laid on the couch where mom sang to me some more and explained to me what was happening and my cousins would be waiting for me at the end of the rainbow bridge. I passed away peacefully in my mom's arms at home .

Oliver and I miss you so much my Little Coco Bean . I love you to the moon and back.

Nuchi

There was no better pet to have than our Nuchi. He was the "perfect" dog for 16 yrs. . He loved to travel. He loved playing with other dogs, big or small! He simply gene us so much joy!

Stella Everton

This sweet, gentle soul came to us in May of 2012. She brought us and our other fur companions years of joy. Her spirit and brightness shown through right until she crossed over August 16, 2024. We miss her so much. Knowing that she is no longer in pain and suffering brings us some peace.

Boo Boo

Boo Boo was our little man, our Paper Monster, our brave boy. Fiercely affectionate for his mommy, Nikki, Boo determined his own choices.

Boo came to us as a senior rescue...fearful and traumatized. It took time for Boo to finally feel safe. After a lifetime of big changes, years in shelters, separation from his mommy LadyBug for a year, he was found by Green Heart Rescue. The wonderful Shannon Frost helped him (and his mom) become healthy and ready to come to our home.

Boo was ours for four sweet years. His protection and joy was our mission in life. He became the King of our castle.

Zeus
May 25, 2011-August 10, 2024


Zeus was the most active, happy and social cat; either playing racetrack and jumping sideways off walls to chase his sister around the house or sitting in your lap for pets and a nap the second you sat down. He loved loved loved his wet food and treats, especially "turkey time". The holidays this year will feel a bit quieter without him climbing the Christmas tree and swatting off all of the ornaments. His doggie brother and cat sister miss him so much; I hope they somehow understand he's not suffering anymore. Zeus was such a gentle protector to both my kids the second we brought them home from the hospital, and I will treasure those memories. Our family is absolutely devastated to lose him but we will continue to remember all the wonderful love and joy he brought into our home for 13 years.

Zeusyboy/Zeuserbee/Little Bear - I hope you're bounding around kitty heaven with lots of other Bengal buddies. We will love you and miss you forever.

Sassy
11-27-06 to 8-9-24

I have so many happy memories with my Sassy girl. I remember the day we met, she ran onto my lap, jumped up & licked my nose, it was love at first sight. She has been such a blessing in my life.

I love you Sassy, we will meet again someday. Fly with the angels sweet girl.

Kota

Kota came to us in 2013 as a 2 year old. She was the most amazing dog! So smart, gentle, funny and fuzzy!! We had 11 years of companionship, joy and comfort. We said our goodbyes on July 24th, 2024. Thank you, sweet girl for being with us. Our lives were so much better with you in them!

Maggie
Maggie-15 yr old Shih Tzu July 2024

Sweet Maggie had a peaceful "eternal nap" with Gentle Goodbyes. She was asleep in her bed and the team was gentle, calm and so wonderful.

Sofi

One of my favorite memories was when Sofi was home from her spay wearing a "cone of shame" during her first winter. The snow kept getting scooped up into her cone. Initially, I thought this was due to her small size as the runt and only 7 months old. Then, I watched as this puppy threw her head back, throwing the snow into her face. Again, I thought this was an accident until she continued to do it over and over that first day and during other trips outside. If a dog could scream with glee, I truly think she would have alerted the neighborhood of her new found fun. Additionally, I was amazed that after teaching her something with truly only 2-3 attempts, she was doing what she was taught. My favorite was after only 2 attempts and patting my chest, I taught her "lay your head down" while I was watching TV. Within no time, Sofi had generalized to giving me lovins each morning by putting her head either on my chest or over my shoulder, prompted by a new command of, "I can't get up without my lovins."

Fritzie Groth

Fritzie has crossed the rainbow bridge. He had 17 wonderful years as the head of our household. He was a lover, a snuggler, and a world-class gopher killer. He will be remembered and missed.

Gypsie

Meet Gypsie. She was a rescue dog found in the below zero weather in the middle of January in Wisconsin. She only weighed 29 pounds and was probably near death when found. Gypsie spent most of her life in Idaho and had the best dog life! Gypsie loved kids, other dogs, and people. She loved life. In her prime, she enjoyed going to dog parks and would run with the fastest dogs. One of her favorite things to do was to swim. She would fetch balls or sticks in the water all day long and was super competitive if other dogs were also in pursuit. Gypsie was quite the snow dog and would dig her face into the snow and pop up with snow all over her face. She would also roll around in it and was the happiest in the snow. Gypsie lived life to the fullest and will be missed by many, but especially by us. We love you, Gypsie.

Aero

Aero was the kindest, most loving soul this world had to offer. He never barked even one time in his whole life.

Kahrina
June 2006 - May 2024

Kahrina became a part of our family in June 2006. She was part corgi part red heeler. She loved playing in the water! She was very expressive, energetic, smart, loving. If anyone in the family was under the weather she was Nurse Kahrina; had to be right next to you checking on you. She would let everyone including her fur siblings know who was boss. There are not enough words to let you know how wonderful she was and how much she was loved. She always was and always will be my princess.

Belle

We recently said goodbye to our good girl, Belle. A black lab that came to us as a 7 week old rescue from an illicit puppy mill in Nevada. That was 13 and a half years ago.

Belle was an athlete, loved to catch Frisbees, balls, snowballs, you name it. If she could do it with flair, like a high jump, a twisting jump, or grab it aggressively of the air, she would trot around doing what we called, "The Victory Lap".

More than that, she was an empath. She knew when her human pack needed urging, attention, love, and compassion. She helped so many of our immediate family with her love and devotion. She adopted our grand babies as her own. Even to the end, her only concern was for all of us as we sat vigil. Determined to be there for her. She performed physical feats of courage to get to each of us in her last two days. To let US know, we would be Ok.

Dogs have such short life spans, but in their life arc, they teach us mortal humans about the really important things. Selflessness. Compassion. Loyalty, Determination. Resilience, and yes, love. As we grieve, we also have committed to showing the humans in our life arc, one or more of those qualities each and every week. Her example demands nothing less. Goodnight sweet girl. We love you!

Woody Meier

Woody -
From the beginning he was our special boy. He was calm, cuddle-y, and unique. We loved his curly fur, marble eyes, and how he would take naps in our "knee krooks"; he was the best type of Velcro dog and always wanted to be by our side. He was our first dog as a married couple, and then was our little girls first dog they got to love on. He will leave a huge hole in our hearts but we will never stop being thankful that we got the chance to love him, play with him and create long lasting memories with him. If love could have saved him, he really would have lived forever.
Enjoy all the apples you can eat sweet Woodster! Walle is holding down the fort for you.

Blackie Clacher

Blackie was the most gentle and sweetest dog we've ever had. She never met a stranger and was instantly friends with everyone. She always wanted your attention, to be petted and close to us. She loved cucumbers. Even to the point of eating them out of the garden. She will truly be missed.

Kobe

Thank you for all the happiness you brought us. You sure are missed boy!

Mocha

Mocha was the best dog anyone could ask for, so sweet and calm, and completely adored by all who met her. She was a constant source of love, comfort and protection! We miss her terribly but we are so glad to have her last moments in the comfort of our home with the loving Gentle Goodbyes staff.

Nash

On July 12th we bid farewell to our sweet and faithful companion Nash. He was super intelligent and loved wading in the Boise river, but his favorite activity was catching frisbees. He will forever leave a hole in my heart, but I know he is having fun in heaven. We will meet again soon my good boy.

Morgan Freeman (Politano)

Bella

Bella was one of a kind; rode in the golf cart, walked with a leash, swatted the neighbors dog...she was my best buddy for 20 long years and lived a blessed life.

Kailey Jane Lepla
2010-2024

Kailey was my everything! During her 14 years, 12 of them she spent 24x7 as my emotional support dog. She was more than that though. She was my life, and kept me going through some of the worst days of my life. She was a loving rescue Chihuahua mix, who was so giving with her affections. She was motherly/sisterly with everyone and everything. I was never apart from her since she entered my life. I was not ready to let her go at all. Her last year she was in decline from congestive heart failure and her quality of life wasn't what she deserved. She was the 1st dog I had lived past 13, so we had the biggest best 14th birthday party for her, on April 28th! But by May, my husband said it was time to let her go. Of course I cried and suffered every single day not wanting her to leave me. We discovered "gentle goodbyes" and decided they were the only service to give my Kailey the best send off. Autumn and Dr. Witt were highly sensitive and kind during the most difficult and painful time of my life. They walked us through the whole procedure and were kind to Kailey's animal sisters.
I stayed with kailey until she was sedated because I was overcome with grief, but my husband stayed with her. It was a gentle event. She passed on a beautiful morning, outside in her gazebo.

Gabby Garza

I still remember the moment we met you for the first time...
It was Sept 2014 and I finally convinced dad that we needed a pup in our lives and I was going to the pound to look for a pittie..
Everyone thought I was crazy but I fell in love with pits the first time I played with one when Kaydence was little..
We met one pit before you and she just wasn't it.. But when you came out and went straight up to Weston's stroller, and sat down in front of him, I just knew you were coming home with us..
You were full of milk and it made me sad that they didn't find your pups but I knew you needed to come home with us so you did..
You came home and a couple days later I had to rush you to the emergency vet because you were so sick..
We nursed you back to health and you melted our hearts..
You gave me a daughter and your brothers loved you..
They became your kids and no one could convince you otherwise...
So many questioned my decision and so many were scared of you but you just loved on them anyways..
You melted everyones heart that met you..
The sweetest, kindest soul that ever existed..
You had lots of battles that we had to overcome but you were also so very strong even when you had to wear the cone of shame..
You also were the best big sister to Skye, even when she wasn't the nicest little sister to you..
You always had patience with her and she misses you so very much..
She goes to your empty bed to wake you and then goes running all over looking for you because you're not there..
You had a love for all kids, you were so gentle with them all and just enjoyed all the love and affection they would give you..
You loved jerky, string cheese, whipped cream and anything else that you were given except your actual food and fruit and veggies..
Yes you were loved and still loved and I am so very grateful you came into our lives..
You served us with all that you had and it was so hard to let you go..
My soul hurts but you are flying high with grandpa, great grandma, Jessie Lee, Morgan many chickens, bunnies and all those who I cared about who are no longer here on earth..
Please watch over us all because we are dearly missing you down here..
Thank you for being you, I am forever grateful that I got to be your mom
Love you forever Gubby goo

Mia

Mia was my best friend for 13 years I don't know how I got such an amazing dog #!! She loved to play fetch and every dog she met was her best friend at least she thought #!! I miss her everyday I cherish the memories I had with her #!! Her family misses her all the time I can't wait for us to be together again rest in peace Mia we love you and go with God!!

Luna Storks aka Woo Boo

We rescued Luna from the Humane society in 2016 and she's was amazing from the very first day. She loved balls over anything in the world and was the sweetest, most caring, lovable lab. She would have her crazy moments and would give the best full face kisses with one lick Her favorite thing was going to the river and chasing her ball in the water. She was my heart and will be missed so much until we meet again.

Susie

I'll never understand why someone decided they didn't want Susie when she turned 9 years old. Fortunately, I got to spend three wonderful years with her. She was a smart, loyal, and affectionate dog who always made me feel like the center of the universe. Even after being diagnosed with bone cancer, she continued to be energetic and optimistic up until the end. She was a wonderful companion that I will miss terribly.

Axel "Buddy"

When I was 10 years old, I met my first basset hound and fell in love. One evening in 2012, a basset hound was being rehomed and a few short hours later you were ours. My dream came true!! And you made every moment so special you were so chill, so sweet, and loved by everyone who met you every day until the end. Just sitting with you after a hard day could make everything better. You loved your people and we miss your quiet presence so much. RIP Axel Buddy

Blue
October 31, 2008 - May 21, 2024

You were born on Halloween right by your dads side. From the moment you took your first breath, to the day you took your last, you were our BEST friend! Always by our side and always a protector to our family.
Seeing you cuddle with your sis Honey, chasing squirrels and jumping around silly is something we will always remember. You never said no to food and loved chewing on a bone in the backyard.
You were the best big brother ever to your sister Honey who misses you dearly.
You showed so many people that pitbulls are just loving big ol babies.
The day before you crossed the rainbow bridge, we hugged you and told you "It's ok if you are ready. It's ok to go. We love you".
You made a hard decision for us and crossed the rainbow bridge yourself.
While we are heartbroken, we understand. You are forever free now.

Fly high big boy!

We love you so much!

Lula

To Date, having to make the decision to put our Lula to sleep, was the hardest decision I've had to make. I don't know if you really ever truly are ready, even if you know it's for their best. Lula was a vocal dog. She did her best to talk to you and tell you all about it. She was a rebel, an adventurer. She was so smart. However, she was definitely no lady. She was our trash dog. Well named after how many trash cans she raided. But oh my God she is so missed. The house is deafeningly quiet and without your presence the heartbreak won't heal. Time is a thief and We will never forget our Lou. Go find Pat up there. I hear he's got Mac n Cheese.

Dug

After 13 years of being the best good boy, it was time to rest. Dug was our first pet after getting married and before having kids. He was by our side through everything! He was the sweetest four legged friend that anyone could ask for! Miss you Dug Dug.

Roscoe

There's no doubt Roscoe has the coolest Mohawk and Fu Manchu in doggy heaven!

Sebastian
2011-2024

Loving and loyal. He is dearly missed.

Drama

Drama never met an enemy. She loved all things big and small. RIP my girl

Kaia Yandoli
6/16/07 - 5/27/24

Kaia went to heaven today. My baby, my queen, my boss, my momma girl, Kaia Moo. She was an athlete and a hunter, won dachshund races before surviving the giant dachshund back surgery and learning to walk again. She was on the cover of a fancy dachshund book - and was the brains of her pack. She lived with some little kids before being turned over to rescue and I think that part of her life made her forever defensive and protective of her body - she had rules about being handled and you just obeyed them. She taught me so much and life will be never be the same without Kaia. Her little body was shutting down and another impossible decision of kindness had to be made. I love Kaia! Ken and I miss her deeply.

Maddie

Maddie was an amazing companion for 13 years of my life. She was with me from 25 to 38 and couldn't have asked for a better sidekick. Everyone that met her would be in awe of her intelligence and sweet demeanor.

Bella

Bella was a huge part of our family and was the best hugger!

Lucy

Lucy was and will forever be known as the gentle soul. She was perfect in every way. My best friend for 15 years. All who loved her will miss her and cherish the times they had with her. She was the best.

Bella Mayoya

Like all of God's blessings, Bella was an unexpected gift that forever changed my life, and those that knew her. She 6 months old and wondering the streets when my son found her and brought her home to me. Little did I know, she was rescuing me, and she immediately became my Heart Dog. She was my protector, my hiking buddy, and she loved to swim. She and I explored hundreds of miles hiking in the Sierras over the years, and I'm so thankful for our adventures. 14 years with her went by too fast and life will never be same without her as she truly was amazing! I love her and I will forever miss my beloved Bella.

Benny

Benny gave us 25 years of companionship and he will always be missed.

Fred

Fred, short for Fred Couples, was the best cat we ever had. He loved to sit on your lap and he loved his birdie num nums! I loved taking pictures of him as he was so stoic. Fred you left us too soon but gave us 13 loving years. There will never be another Fred.

Ollie

This is my sweet boy Ollie. He was personality plus and demanded a lot of attention (and treats) for the past 20 years. My house is very quiet and lonesome without Ollie in it, and I will miss him forever!!

Gracie Metts
2007-2024

Gracie blessed us with unconditional love for over 17 years. She traveled with us wherever we went and our hearts are broken that she has passed, however, it was time for her to rest. Her favorite things were playing catch, playing with other dogs but most of all, riding in the truck with the window rolled down and her ears blowing in the wind.

Zoee

Thank you all for making this difficult time so much easier and special for us.

Ziggy

For seventeen years, Ziggy, our rat terrier, woke me up each morning with his paws on the bed, saying, "Okay, time to let me out." He was a fiercely protective pup, patrolling the yard, alerting all birds, squirrels and passing canines that they shouldn't mess with his family. Wherever I went, upstairs or downstairs, he would follow; he was my shadow. God Bless our dog. We miss you, Ziggy.

Tucker Simos

In August of 2019, we brought Tucker into our family. Tucker was always happy to go on walks with Dad, and enjoyed the new smells along the way. He brought a lot of love to this little family. In September of 2023, he was diagnosed with Meningoencephalitis. He was quite the fighter, but later also developed Horner's Disease. On June 24, 2024, we had to say goodbye, but it was made a lot easier by Gentle Goodbyes.

Daisy and Dash

Dash and Daisy were raised together as pups, hunted and palled around together through life and went to heaven together.

Mona Lisa R.-Mariah
07.04.20.2024

November 2018 the Paradise, CA. fire brought animals to Boise, ID. Idaho human society was hosting to adopt them out. That is where my 5 year old queen and I fell in love with each other. Mariah was my emotional support dog and went to college with me. Everyone loved her. My church M.C.C. family made her our mascot. For 6 years she brightened my life. On the fourth of July she was in pain and I called Gentle Goodbyes even though it was a holiday they did not want her in pain. R.I.P. my beautiful angel Mariah! Sincerely Mona Lisa R.

Milo Holton

Milo was the "goodest" dog ever. He was a very loyal friend and a great companion. He lived with for a short 8 years but they were filled with walks, rides in the car, treats galore and plenty of laughter. And of course lots of snuggles and bed hogging. We miss him so much!

Juju
July 21, 2012 - July 10, 2024

Oh sweet baby girl, how we miss you terribly. Our Princess and Queen of the house. You mean so very much to us. Could not love or miss a pet as much as we miss and love you. One of the hardest days of our lives is the day you crossed that Rainbow Bridge. We know that your brother Mojo and your god father Oscar were there to meet you when you crossed. I'm sure if was like old times when you put Mojo in his place as you always did in life.

Juju got to see the world in her short 12 years but those travels were amazing with your brother and family. Chased squirrels and birds, see bears and bison. Experience cold winters in Alaska and the heat of lower 48 states like Nevada, Texas and Idaho. Oh how you loved and insisted on the nightly belly rubs and, as of late, the required morning ones as well!

We miss your snuggles and the way your ears showed your interest, or lack of, in the conversation and activities around you, and especially your bulldog pose when you decided enough was enough! Everybody loves the Juju and we're sure that you've captured the hearts of everyone who's been lucky to meet you on the other side of the bridge. We love you baby girl, we miss you and will see you again. Until then, please be nice to the little birds over there and feel free to "eat Mojo's face off whenever he earns it"

Kemba

We had to say goodbye to our beloved dog Kemba.This is a very difficult time.

Harley

CJ

This is CJ. He taught me everything I needed to know about life.

Lou Dog
July 8 2010- July 3,2014

Lou dog , Buddy, Lou Doo,
You were always the old soul, the dog many overlooked! To those who knew you you were loved ! You have been my walking buddy, protector and shadow more so in the last 2 years !!! You taught me loyalty , forgiveness, and unconditional love among so many things
You are missed
We love you and say hi to Bijou.

Gucci

Gucci, the most perfect boy in all of eternity (he lived up to his name very well). May you finally be at rest my sweet love, enjoy all the treats you could ever enjoy, I love you .

Belle Brians

Memorial: Thank you, Doctor, for your kindness and expertise. You were here when we needed you, and Belle was able to move on to her next life without pain or fear. Belle and Dixie came to us when they were only 4 weeks old, rescued from a bad situation in Louisiana. Littermate sister, Dixie, passed in 2022 at the age of 14, and Belle recently passed at 16 years of age. They loved to chase rabbits together, and were very much loved by our family.

Nellie

Nellie was the sweetest girl imaginable. She lived to be twelve and a half years old. A daddy's girl through and through, she was the life of every party. Be it fishing, riding ATVs, riding snowmobiles, camping, hiking, she would not be left behind. She knew how to get everyone's sandwich meat during stops. Nellie - I will love you and miss you forever.

Cashe

Cooper

Our beloved yellow lab, Cooper passed over the rainbow bridge March 13th at the golden age of sixteen and a half . He was a big (100lb) lab full of love and life.

He traveled with us all over the Pacific northwest and loved playing in the ocean and mountain lakes and rivers. He could hike all day and still play fetch until we could not keep playing.

I dedicate one of my favorite songs to Cooper, One Friend by Dan Seals. I always thought you were the best I guess I always will I always thought that we were blessed And I feel that way still sometimes we took the hard road But we always saw it through If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you Sometimes the world was on our side Sometimes it wasn't fair Sometimes it gave a helping hand Sometimes we didn't care Cause when we were together It made the dream come true If I had only one friend left I'd want it to be you Someone who understands me And knows me inside out Helps keep me together And believes without a doubt. That I could move a mountain Someone to tell it to If I had only one friend left, I'd want it to be you.

Gunner Spurgeon
Sept 2014-April 2024

Gunner was our big ol baby, we had him since he was a little younger than 8 weeks, he LOVED bubbles, playing in the water, and pictures!! Goodness he was always ready for a picture! He would come running if he heard "let's take a picture" even if it wasn't supposed to be a picture of him he made sure he was in it he was our big lap dog and the sweetest guy ever! We will forever miss him and take solace in the fact that he is no longer in pain and is running around in puppy heaven with his big brother Rocky.

Pepper

This girl was the sweetest old lady. I only had her for 3 short years, but she made my life richer. Farewell my gentle girl. I'll miss your sweet love.

Jazzy'

'Jazzy' our beloved cat was born in 2003.
I found her in the parking lot of the place where I was employed.

It was a cold October night, I was just getting off work and preparing to get in my car to drive home.
I looked toward a street light and saw this cute little kitten about 2 to 3 months old chasing fall leaves as they they were caught in a whirlwind under the glow of the streetlight. She was jumping in the air trying to catch the leaves. It was so darned cute!

It was plain to me that she was a stray and needed nourishment and warmth, so I picked her up.
She immediately crawled up my sweatshirt, and over my shoulder, and found her way into my hood.

I made the decision at that point to take her home with me. I only had the intention of keeping her safe and fed until my husband and I could find her a good forever home.

Fast forward 20.5 years later we still had her. Jazzy's forever home turned out to be ours! It was an easy decision.

She was such a spitfire. She was boss over the other two cat's in our home and soon wrapped us around her little paws.

Jazzy was a beautiful Calico, so full of fun and energy. We trained her to a leash, and she would walk us, much more than we would walk her! She was great traveler, and loved seeing these United States with us.
She filled our lives and hearts with so many wonderful memories and love. She fought very hard to stay with us toward the end of her life. She lived longer than most thought she would.

We know one day we will see her sweet little face again one day. Until then, Jazzy is resting with our Creator.

Take care sweet 'Jazzy', one day we will all walk and play together again. We love you baby girl.

Duke

Juneau

We rescued you at 8 weeks old. Your first week of life you took us to the edge with parvo and giardia but we fought hard for you and in return you have us many many wonderful years. We originally got you to be an outdoor dog but you quickly let us know you would not be having that and ended up in our bed every night. You had the quirkiest sense of yourself. You sure as heck never saw yourself as a dog because dogs were inferior to you. You hated rain but loved the snow. You stole our hearts and made our house a home. We got you 8 weeks after we got married. We don't know a marriage without you. We've dedicated our lives to you for 14.5 years......we don't even know how to live without you. Whatever this was it took you fast. So fast Megan and I had to catch a midnight flight home in time to say goodbye. You held on and kept holding on. You hadn't eaten in a day but let me feed you some French fries from In N Out your last night. You never could resist a french fry. You needed us as much as we needed you. But at 4:35pm on Monday March 25 you took your last breath. Daddy and I held you in our arms as you slipped away. I've never felt a pain like this. The house is silent. No tapping of your paws on the hardwood floor. No more jingling of your chain. No more tapping your food bowl to be fed. No more barking to be let outside. The only thing now is the memories we have and the sound of heartbroken cries has taken over our home. We sit in silence only because it doesn't feel right to do or say anything. I know this will pass but bubby if love could have saved you....you would have lived forever. We love you our sweet boy with every piece of our shattered hearts. Watch over us till we see you again.

Holly

Throughout her life she was the most amazing, happy and loving soul mate you could imagine, and with everyone with whom she came in contact. We miss her so.

Tonka

Here are a few more photos of Tonka. Tonka has blessed our family for over 13+ years and she is greatly missed. Her favorite thing to do besides shadowing with her human mom was to play fetch. She would play ball any chance she could. There is a huge hole in our hearts!

Leopold
11/1/2007 - 3/21/2024

Leopold, aka Freshie, & The Honey Bunny Man, appeared on our front step on All Souls Day 16.5 yrs ago. It was love at first sight. We had over 15 wonderful years with him, full of unconditional love, endless joy, & tons of shenanigans. He looked forward to taking walks with us around the house; lounging in front of St. Francis, watching the squirrels and supervising EVERYTHING we did. We loved him dearly (still do) and miss him tremendously. He was a beloved family member.

Callie

Callie found me when she was two years old. I just happened to be at the Humane Society and she insisted I take her home. That was eighteen years ago! She was spoiled rotten (or treated appropriately if you asked her). I have never met a cat that managed to be so sweet, gentle, curious and sassy all at the same time. She always had something to say about whatever was happening and never missed a chance to snuggle up close at night. She was the light of my life for almost two decades and I will never forget her.

Sweet dreams Miss Callie, you deserve them.

Sky McMurria
3-24-24

In loving memory of our sky pup.

Bear Swales
12/01/2009 - 3/12/2024

Our sweet little boy. If we could have designed the perfect little companion that checked all the boxes, our little guy, Bear, would have been the final result. He was the most beautiful, sweet, intelligent little love bug we could have asked for. This loss hurts. Fourteen years were not enough. Fly high sweet boy. We'll see you on the other side.

Willow
On April 1, 2024 we said goodbye to Willow.

The first time we saw Willow she was a scrawny little kitten with a head that was too big for her body. She was chosen because as dedicated E. B. White fans we were a little afraid of what would happen to the runt of the litter. She reminded us of a "will o wisp," a mischievous spirit. And the name fit! She had a spirit that was too big for her body and she grew into the cleverest, bravest and most curious cat that we have ever known. Willow was always getting into trouble and choosing challenges that would land her in trouble. She did everything on her own terms but in the words of a neighbor child, " she a nice kitty." There was no greater compliment from Willow than going to sleep alone and waking up with her plastered to you.
Goodbye Willow, we are so grateful to have had you for 11 years.

Fox
4/10/2024

Like all great things, sometimes they come at you fast. It was a quick idea I had, I wanted a dog and I wanted a blue heeler. I knew I wanted a dog breed that would be loyal and active. A quick search on the internet and I laid eyes on a brown/grey blue heeler that came with an interesting story.

A homeless man who had a cell phone, without service, went to starbucks using the free wifi and posted; "Great dog, can't keep, need to find a home for him." I replied and before I knew it I was making the drive to Salem Oregon to look at a blue heeler. When I got there I met the man and this ugly looking dog named Fox. Right away we connected and after a 30 minute walk/interview I was adopted by Fox. I remember as I drove away Fox stared out the window, his heart broken for losing a good friend and not knowing where this stranger was taking him. I went straight to the store, bought some dog food, some flea shampoo and all the other essentials that I needed. It was the first time in my adult life that I had a dog of my own.

After washing Fox down in the shower and watching all the fleas jump off him, I realized he wasn't a brown dog, but he was just so dirty from living on the streets, that under all the dirt was one of the most beautiful dogs I have ever laid my eyes on. It didn't take long before Fox and I became best friends. He would follow me everywhere and when I had to leave for work, he would always be at the door waiting for me when I got home. We went on so many adventures and he gave me so much love, I never felt alone.

Eventually like all things, it has to come to an end. It was pretty rough watching this active dog get ravaged by father time as it became harder and harder for him to move. I always told Fox, "just let me know when you're ready and I'll take care of the rest." Well eventually that day came and I had to make the call to gentle goodbyes. It's been a few weeks since he has been gone, but I think about him all the time. Fox was nothing short of a Legend. He taught me to enjoy the simple things, and the beauty of life is that it doesn't last forever, so enjoy it while you got it. Fox, you always be missed. Love you buddy!!!

Ruby

I had the honor of parenting Ruby for 8 years. She was so funny, sensitive, affectionate, and loved to talk to me. The best girl. She's going to missed terribly

Nicki

RIP our dear, funny little Nicki. You ran under the right truck 16 years ago and were eager to make our home your home. While you were so shy that you hid under my chair in puppy kindergarten, you were fearless when you scaled our 7' retaining wall to chase off a coyote.

Honey "PIFFY" Lambie Preece
(11/27/2009-4/20/2024)

Our little Boston family member made everyone smile with her spunky attitude, raspy barking, and attempts to howl. She was full of love and all the kisses. We said that we rescued her, but she had really rescued us. She was more than just a friend and a family member, but a true light in our home following us all around and comforting us through every difficulty. Even right before she passed she was stubborn and good, refusing to let go and had to be told that it was okay if she went, which just proved what a good girl she was. She will be missed. As her family we are grateful for the time we got to spend with her and are happy that she was able to pass with all of us surrounding her naturally at home together. She knew that she was loved and there is a hole in our hearts now where she can curl up inside and find peace knowing that she was our best girl.

In loving memory of Odin Huntting

Odin was happiest when he was with his family, whether out on an adventure or snuggled up under a blanket at home. Odin had a knack for finding the biggest rocks or tree limbs he could pick up. But he was also the most gentle-spirited dog, exemplified by the multiple documented encounters he had with baby rock chucks, ducklings, etc. He brought so much joy to our lives in the almost 10 years he was with us, and he will forever be in our hearts.

Leo

When we adopted Leo he was just over a year old and full of kitten fun. He loved the laser pointer and would race down the hallway and up the wall to get it and he was the best helper when we were building a puzzle. He was a great companion. We got to have him for almost 17 years and we will miss him greatly.

Simba Schiller

The Sawtooth Mountains were a favorite of ours and Simba loved backpacking and swimming in the lakes.

Pearl

Pearl really was the pup of the party and loved everyone. Six years wasn't enough time to enjoy life but our lives will always be the better for having had her, even for such a short time.

Josie
4/05/2024

Josie was the college pup turned faithful family dog. We are thankful for the beautiful memories she gave us. I'm sure she is chasing squirrels and catching frisbees again in doggy heaven. We love you Josie!

Titus/Mr. Moons

Titus, Mr. Moons, Titi, Bubbys, whatever name we called you that day, you were the best dog a girl could dream of. You never bite, you let us jump all over you, you let me paint your nails, you let the girls take you on long walks even though you hated walks and would rather watch football on the couch with grandpa or dad, you were truly the best. Even with your intimidating looks you were so loved by everyone who meet you. I still remember when a random kid ran up to you at the park and screamed "Mom look, it's a giant pug". Your whole 13 years of life you gave our family so much joy. Love and miss you forever moonies.

Deuce

We adopted Deuce as a 6 week old puppy. He was always a puppy at heart, even in his senior years. He loved to check out mail parcels as they were brought into the house. He loved to snuggle on the couch, he had a sweet tooth and adored pheasant hunting with my husband. In 2016, he had a mishap where he got out of his crate and jumped from the back of my husband's truck. He was lost for 5 days, while I was seeking breast cancer treatment in SLC. We posted pictures on facebook in hopes someone would find him and our boy would come back home. Fortunately a person we went to high school with found him and kept him safe for us. When we went to pick him up, I could tell he was very timid in the unfamiliar place. As soon as he recognized me, he let out the saddest/happiest cry and ran to me. We were so surprised and thankful to have him back. Deuce had such a big, loyal heart. I still catch myself singing to him in the mornings, as I did when he was still with us. We were so blessed to have this loving, snoopy, goofball in our lives and we miss him so much.

Chili

Flower

Flower, our beloved princess kitty of 13 years, left us on Saturday. While we are heartbroken, we are also grateful to your team for helping her cross the rainbow bridge and be free of pain.

Loki Nyen

Loki was incredibly smart. He stayed next to our sides his entire life. He loved playing hide n seek with our 2 year old daughter. They would play tag. She would read him stories. They were best friends. The perfect first dog for any child to have. I will miss him laying at my feet while I'm in my office. Or stepping on him when I go to get up off the couch - because he was sleeping under my legs. He loved everyone! He always protected the little dogs from the big dogs at the park. He was so brave. I will remember him everyday in all the things we do. I love you bud.

Emma
Sept 2008 to 4/20/2024

Emma was the sweetest girl, everyone loved her and always wanted to take her home. She loved camping and going to the beach, or she was just happy being with her humans. She was always happy and full of love for everyone she met. She will forever be in our hearts.

Timmie

Timmie, my sweet marshmallow graced our family for 16 years. Her sweet and playful spirit is very much missed and Timmie will always hold a special place in my heart. Rest in peace sweet kitty.

Poof
September 2012 - April 2024

Poof was a beautiful addition to our family in September 2018 at the age of 6. He was beautiful and precious and a "poof" of fresh air! A retired show and stud, he was ready to be King of the Castle and keep his many fur-siblings in check. Poof may have been only two pounds, but his bark and attitude went way beyond his tiny and fluffy little body. He slept between me and my husband for six years! He was in charge and his demands of being loved, carried and adored were all met with open arms - he deserved the best.

He was very adventurous and a traveler - Santa Barbara, Lake Tahoe/Truckee, Bodega Bay and so on, and once he landed in Idaho, had many flights back to Sonoma County to see family.

He was a fighter and mighty - up until he went to Heaven. His memory is alive in hearts and he is missed every day. I love him and reflect on his impact on me and our entire family and it is just so hard to let him go physically - keeping his memory in our hearts allows us to never let go of his poofy little soul.

Little Bug

We said goodbye to our sweet "Doodle" Bug after 18 amazing years and she has crossed the rainbow bridge to join her sister Blue Belle. Bug loved being cuddled in her favorite blanket, going for walks, eating cookies and milk, and especially her Aunt T. She brought absolute joy to our lives and was loved by all. Our hearts are broken and we will miss her dearly. Until I see you again, love you my little girl!

Brady

In 2012, Brady joined our family after being lovingly entrusted to us. With his irresistible charm and boundless love, he quickly became the heart of our home. Brady had a knack for bringing joy to even the darkest of days, with a gentle spirit that offered comfort to all who knew him. His intelligence and eagerness to learn always amazed us, especially when treats were involved. Today, our hearts ache with his absence, but his love and legacy will forever be cherished. Brady, you may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.

Pearl
5/1/2024

Pearl was an amazing kitty, always comforting to have around so you never felt alone and as many unfortunate mice, birds and rabbits found, had quite the killer instinct. She was fixture in so many peoples' lives as she roamed the neighborhood always on the search for treats, affection and adoration.

Pearl was more than just a part of our story, she was also a part of our family. Pearl, you were an amazing cat. We miss you and we will never forget you.

Che

Che was the best dog. She was so smart, loyal, funny, and loving. I know everyone says their dog is the best, but Che truly was the BEST DOG! Although she wasn't always the most well-behaved dog, her connection to me was deeper than I've ever experienced with any other living being, human, or animal. She knew so many words, and I could have full conversations with her, knowing that she understood a lot of it. I am lucky to have spent 17 years with her by my side, but it wasn't enough. It never is.... She will forever be missed dearly by me, my other dog, Zydeco, my cats Quorra and Flynn, and all who knew her.

Reba

Miss Reba loved adventure! She loved very loudly and never met a person or animal she didn't like. She was loved by her family everyday of her life and we miss all her silly noises.

She refused to be bored, chiefly because she wasn't boring,

Maximus Angus
9/10/10-2/17/24

Our Brussels Griffon households' heart broke, as we said goodbye to our sweet old man, Maximus. Maxi loved unconditionally, guarded his yard by barking the second he stepped outside, and cuddled up with Momma as much as possible. The hole Max leaves will never be filled but we look back on all the incredible memories grateful that we got to love and be a part of Maxys life. Rest in Peace Little Love, you will forever be in our hearts and minds.

Cassie Elliott

Cassie was special. She came to us after living the first 2 years of her life in a kennel. She was a project pup. We gave her an awesome life and she was an awesome, smart and a great companion. She will be missed terribly. She was loved by all who knew her. RIP baby girl. Our baby girl.

Duke

Duke loved being involved in everything, from walking, digging trenches, shoveling snow, or shopping for horse food.

Kitten

This is Kitten. He was a gentle cat who shared a special friendship with another of our cats. He lived a long and happy life of over 16 years. He will be reunited with many friends he knew over the years .

Eli

Eli was a big part of our family. Such a gentle giant. He was always so friendly to everyone he met both humans and animals of every kind. Except crows! He loved to chase them. Thank you for giving us such a sweet goodbye to our beloved dog. It meant a lot to us for him to be comfortable at home during those last days. We miss his presence in our home and this is a part of having a pet, saying good-bye. Thank you for making it a little easier.

Kyah Lynn Leiby
3/13/09 to 2/25/24

We had to say good-bye to our sweet & loving Kyah Lynn, Feb 25th.
Kyah was 2 1/2 wks shy of her 15th birthday. She was so sweet & gentle all of her life.
Some of her favorite things: laying out in our front yard watching over the neighborhood, playing in water, camping, going for rides, playing with her furry friends.
Kyah, you will forever will be in hearts and minds.

Sweet Bear

Our sweet baby Bear. We're so grateful you shared your life with us for 14 years. Thank you for the precious memories that now fill the space your passing left in our hearts. Thank you to Gentle Goodbyes for sending Doctor and Tech to us. Their caring and compassionate professionalism helped ease Bear through a painless transition. We're grateful to all the Gentle Goodbyes staff. You're all terrific people.

Izzy Tomko
9/26/2012 - 3/11/24

I loved her so much. She was the most adventurous, loyal, loving, and a little crazy (about food)! My little "Sweet but a Psycho" Pug girl is now over the rainbow bridge chasing balls and barking at squirrels ?
She will forever be in my heart.

Thank you to Gentle Goodbyes for making her journey as peaceful as possible. ???

Buster Bollinger

Thank you so very much for your kindness and support last week with Buster, our sweet Lab-Chesapeake mix. He was loved by everyone in our family, as well as our neighbors, and losing him broke all of our hearts.

Boo Martinez

Boo Martinez passed away ever so peacefully at home in our arms at the age of 18. She was one of a kind and a true chihuahua ambassador; changing opinions wherever she went due to her LOVE of people and calm nature.

Tony Miklos

It is with much sadness and love, I share our beloved family member, Tony has crossed into heaven's rainbow bridge. He was the best dog and was loved by all!!

Rambo

Rambo was the best dog and companion you could ever ask for. He watched our family grow over the last 15 years and brought joy and laughter to everyone around him. He was one of a kind and loved by so many. We will miss you Rambo until we meet again at the rainbow bridge.

Roxy

On February 7th our sweetheart, Roxy, crossed the rainbow bridge to join her brother that crossed November 7th. She was such a sweet girl. She loved to tease Rocket, loved all the treats, and loved to chase birds at the beach. We miss her and her brother so much.

Abbey Wallis
March 9 2015-Feb. 15 2024

Abbey was a handful as a pup but had turned into the best dog ever. She had her CGC and her Novice Trick Dog titles. She loved our place in McCall. She was an amazing swimmer and loved the water. She also loved the snow. She brought us almost 9 years of love and laughter. We miss her terribly.

Zeus

Scout

Scout brought us over 13 years of joy, making our new house a home when we first moved to Idaho. We are grateful for every day we had with him, and will miss him forever.

Jake McCullough

Jake loved to go running, hiking, on walks, and just being outdoors. He was not a big fan of swimming though. He was very vocal on walks when seeing other dogs on his rounds. Hope you're running and playing on the other side. You will be greatly missed.

Banner

We adopted Banner when he was 11 years old, along with his bonded friend Dixie (who was also 11). We knew we wouldn't have him for long, but it was such a wonderful 4 years. He was a sweet, quirky, very loving dog. He was always moving and sniffing things out, and he never was too far out of view of Dixie. He fit right into our family of people and cats. He had such a personality! He made the sweetest "happy noises". We will miss him always.

Ollie "Stinker" Ramsey

How incredibly fortunate I was to have my amazing Ollie (Stinker) girl for 13 loving years!! She was amazing; truly majestic! Throughout life's many journeys, she was always by my side, no matter what. Her loss leaves such emptiness but I'm so thankful for the forever memories she gave me, my family and friends - her spirit will truly live on forever!

Bella

Bella was rescued by us in Oct of 2020. She settled right in with us and was a big part of our family. She would do a little prance/dance every night at dinner time waiting for her food. She loved to walk and lay in the sun. We will miss her greatly.

Brody

Thank you so much for handling Brody and such a lovely way as he passed thank you for helping us be home with him. We loved him very much. He had such a personality and even tried to talk to us. He was my special little buddy, and my kids loved him as well. Now he is at peace and happily running on trails and playing in creeks without any pain.

Morgan Woodell

Luke
6/24/16 - 1/5/24

Thank you for being there to help Luke no longer suffer through the cancer. Lukie, bonk, Bo Bo -- Luke, you came into our lives as a friend to comfort our Lucy, who had just lost her brother. We knew when we picked you out of the litter on that little farm in Texas, you were going to be a part of our family. You were such a sensitive boy, who knew when to come snuggle next to us when we needed a lift. You brought out the best in Lucy, urging her to bark at the neighbors or wanting to play first thing in the morning. We will miss your goofiness of burrowing under Daddy's blanket, hopping through the snow, or sneaking some morsels from your Uncle downstairs. We were blessed to be your mom and dad, you gave us joy and laughter, we love you, and knowing that you are no longer suffering, is comforting.

Bella
4/1/10 - 1/5/24

Bella was a true joy who had no quit in her. I was comforted by a friend's words...you gave her your last best gift, a peaceful passing. Bella will be in our hearts always.

Piglet Broome

Piglet was the sweetest fur-baby and this photo captures her true spirit, sitting in God's light, a four-legged angel on earth. Your mommy and I (your grandma) will see you again at the Rainbow Bridge. Until then, rest well without any more pain and know that you will forever be in our entire family's loving thoughts.

Sally

Sally was such a sweetheart and we loved her so much!

Sara

Sara Mama Misses You

Oaklee

Our beloved Golden Doodle, Oaklee came home to us after surviving a house fire at 6 weeks old along with his momma and siblings. He really was our miracle. Oaklee's favorite place to be was with "his peeps" he just couldn't relax until all 3 of us were home. He loved camping and playing keep away. He gave us a short 11 years of love and loyalty. Thank you Gentle Goodbyes for making his goodbye a peaceful experience.

Sasha

GGB Doctor and Tech came to our home to help our wonderful dog, Sasha, spend her last moments on earth in a calm, peaceful way. She was in her bed instead of a sterile veterinary clinic. We were so lucky to have Sasha in our life for 13 years. She is missed and thought of every day.

Gunnar

They were so gentle and caring with Gunnar, we couldn't have asked for anyone better. After almost 13 years, we said goodbye to our sweet, handsome Gunnar. He was an amazing dog with such a loving personality. He loved eating socks, chasing rocks and going hunting. We will never forget him.

Roxy Hightower

In loving memory of our Roxy girl. With boundless energy and a heart full of love. You filled our lives with joy and unforgettable memories. From the time you joined us from the boxer rescue in our first home, to our cross country moves, to being Archer's very best friend (though you may have only tolerated him for his snacks). You were a constant source of comfort and happiness. We will miss your little wiggle butt and the way you loved us. Rest peacefully Roxy Ann. Until we meet again.

Kitty

This is Kitty. She was 10 years old and a very sweet cat. We adopted her from our neighbor who had discovered her new husband was allergic...oops! But she quickly got used to her new mom and dad. This was one of her favorite places to sleep on a warm sunny day. She was spoiled and was supplied with fuzzy warm blankets and constant attention. She was the best and we had her for 4 years.

Bronwyn

Thank you for helping me with Bronwyn. I am so grateful Bronwyn let me know that we belonged together. She was a tiny cat, but a massive source of joy in my life. I feel so lucky to have loved her and felt so loved in return. I'll miss her always.

Niko Thomas
4/15/2017 - 2/11/2024

From the time he was a baby to his last day on this side of the rainbow bridge, Niko's location of choice never changed - anywhere we were. The calmest, biggest, most baby-faced of cats. The loss of his gentle presence and constant companionship is enormous. We love you, Niko.

Daisy the St. Bernard

We sincerely appreciate your time and sympathy in coming to our home to assist with the end of life of our Daisy dog. She was such a dear and wonderful family pet. Her presence within our home was always enthusiasm and sweetness. Your service really helped to ease the anxiety of the realization that her vitality was gone. I find myself mentally playing with her ear and kissing her whiskers and the side of her muzzle which was so annoying to her...she always twitched, lol!

Cooper

Cooper was the most loyal friend to our family. Everyone loved Cooper. He loved spring and chasing the ground squirrels (and catching them!), going to the barn with me and laying in the grass as he is here in this picture. We appreciate Gentle Goodbyes very much.

Rocky

January 29th, 2024 we said goodbye to one of the goodest boys Rocky. We adopted Rocky when he was 6 years old and have loved life with him as our family's first dog. Rocky enjoyed playing soccer in the yard, pulling the stuffing out from his toys and most of all food! We miss listening for Rocky's tippy taps coming down the hall and his silent protest yaps and stomps for more snacks. Thank you Gentle Goodbyes for helping Rocky cross the rainbow bridge, we couldn't have asked for a better service and team during this hard time.

Tyra

Tyra was such a sweet girl. Her sweet face is missed at our house and we will always remember the fun times we had together. Love u Tyra!

Thors

Thor came into our lives at the age of 3 and he was gentle giant and loved to be around all of us, he went everywhere with us when he was younger and he was one spoiled dog!! He will be missed and we loved him very much

Heidi Stright

Heidi was our gentle giant, We were so lucky to adopt her when she was 3. She taught us what it means to be loyal and attentive. She loved her family and was happiest when we were all together so she didn't have to worry about anyone who wasn't present. We had 3 wonderful years together and they went by all too quickly. We were not ready to say goodbye.

Lilly

My sweet smart Lilly girl.
Lilly gave me her all. She was smart, kind, loving. She was the center of my universe for 16 years.
I will love her forever.

Lucy

Lucy Lou was a fiercely loyal and loving dog. From the moment I met her, it was true and pure love. She was funny and playful and loved her tennis balls, bones, and stuffed animals. She was always with her owner, Sara and her favorite thing in the world was car rides. Lucy will be deeply missed, and always remembered for the sweet, loving being she was. Run free Lucy, we will Meet you on the rainbow Bridge.

Maxx
DOB 24 Sep 2013

Until today we had a stride, now what will we do at 8, 9, 2, and five?
A gift from my angels. At the time I wasn't sure why. He saved me from myself, changed my life, and brought me my wife.
You were loved by everyone who ever met you, but most of all by us. Every part of our lives has been with you in mind and in that you laid your trust.
A friend, a companion, so much more. Your life was what we were meant for.
The kindest, sweetest soul ever known, no higher has an eagle ever flown.
You were given a name but were so much more than that. A more perfect soul has never been born.
Those beautiful eyes of brown like that of a savior, they melted every heart around.
You were just perfect our little Maxx ...you were literally one in a million.
You will forever be in our hearts.
