Lucas (1995-2006)

Lucas, I sent you to a place of peace only a short while ago, and it was hard not to cry as you left. But you needed to find peace.

Now my arms feel empty without you in them, and my lips already long to kiss your sweet head. But my heart will always be full of the wonderful memories you gave me.

I remember you as a little boy....Always mischievious, Always loving.

And I remember you as one of the "3 orangies"..........How many dozens of photos do I have of you with your two orange pals??

And I remember the love you had for dear Y.Lee (who left us in 2002)..........You pested him from the moment you entered our home, and he LOVED you for it. You were inseperable and now you shall be together once again.

But mostly I remember you as Mama's SPECIAL boy......Giving daily nose kisses and always having time to deliver your special brand of purr therapy.

Run fast, Play hard and Be free at the bridge, my Love, and forgive me if I am weak and cry because I miss you. You will remain forever etched upon my heart.

GOOD BYE http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...cas-6-2006.jpg

To many tears...... RIP Lucas.....

Bye Lucas!

:(

Have fun at the RB.

Rest in Peace sweet Lucas. I never met you in person but you have left a mark on my heart.

:(

Peace Little Orange Man....Peace...

Oh Jen ((((HUGS))) I am crying right along with you. You know I loved that boy.

:( :(

Jen, those pics with Y.Lee are just too precious. They are together now, and Y.Lee is celebrating being able to romp with his good buddy.

RIP dear Lucas. :(

RIP handsome Lucas :(

Jen!!! I am so sorry to read about your very much beloved Lucas!!! It is so hard to lose a special cat and it sounds like Lucas and you had a very special bond. I hope Lucas and Ralph Syracuse, those Orangemen, have met, and are playing happily! Sleep softly dear Lucas...((((((((((for Jen))))))))))

Such a sad day.... RIP little Lucas man, play hard, and you will see your Meowmie again one day.

(((hugs))) to you Jen from Indiana. I know it is hard, but this was the ultimate act of love for your Lucas. He is playing hard with his friends, I am sure.

Jen, I am so very sorry about Lucas...he was your "soul cat", like my Abner is to me.

I love the last photo of Lucas that you posted....such a handsome, distinguished orange man. Orangies for some reason have such an extra special nature to them and you can certainly see it in Lucas' photo.

(((HUGS))) the hardest decisions we make in life are knowing when it is the right time to let go. Know that Lucas has been greeted by many wonderful friends.

RIP Sweet Lucas. :(

I read your tribute earlier and had to leave the room for a while. I was completely choked up and had to regain my composure. Getting even softer hearted in my old age, if that is possible. You've done a beautiful job with your tribute to Lucas, it is clear to me that you loved this animal with all of your heart. Lucas watch over your meowmie, help mend her broken heart however you are able. Play well at the Bridge, maybe look for my ferrets that are there, they're a cool "gang". HUGS to you to help you feel just a tiny bit better. :(

((((((((((((((((((((Jen)))))))))))))))))))

Hugs to you, you did the right thing and Lucas is free of pain.

Oh no, what a sad time for you Jen. You have been so strong throughout Lucas' illness and treatments, and done the absolute best for him at every turn. He is so lucky to have you!! What a precious photo tribute to a most devoted, sweet orangie. :)
Big {{{{HUGS}}}} to you. You are in my thoughts during this difficult time.
RIP always, Lucas. You will be deeply missed! :(

I am very sorry to hear about Lucas.

Jen, I'm also crying with you now over the loss of your soul kitty Lucas. It's so easy to see from your tribute how much you love him.

R.I.P. little Orange Boy!

Kirsten

Jen I am so sorry. :( {{{hugs}}}

Rest in peace beautiful Lucas.

Jen, I am so very, very sorry.

I haven't posted before but have been following the Pet Talk cats for a while now. Lucas and his passing and the love you and he have all shared have me in tears.

My Mitsie, Mary Lou, Phoebe, and Lucy are helping him get settled in by the Bridge.

{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}} to you and yours, and skritches and soft pets to your other furbabies.

Pat, Peony, Sydney, Priscilla, and Poppy

These are beautiful pictures of Lucas, Jen. I'm so sorry that he wasn't with you long enough.

Rest in peace, Lucas. You will always be loved.

Jen, I'm in tears right now. But somehow it is a comfort to me to know that Lucas met his best buddy at RB.
May they be playing happily.

R.I.P. handsome Lucas. :( (((Jen))) he had a great long and happy life with you, please know that we're here for you.

RIP Lucas. You are loved dearly and will be seen again someday.

It's stormy and bright day here in Florida, I wondered why I saw a rainbow.
It was to guide Lucas to the other side, and candles are lit tonight, and Meezerly songs are sung. We saw the sadness in your eyes, sweet boy. Now begin anew, and wait for your mama. She loves you still.

Godspeed to the bridge, sweet Lucas

Lucas is gone, but he lives on at the Rainbow Bridge.
Our Pets go ahead of us to join the Pet Angel Army, and they explore the Earth looking for places that we can enjoy with them when we finally are reunited and see thier faces again.
One Fine Day.

RIP sweet orange boy!

I know how hard this is for you. No matter how right you feel the time is, your heart always wants them back for one more kiss and cuddle.

Be at peace sweet Lucas. You will be missed a lot. :(

Dear Jen,

You have my deepest condolences on the loss of your precious Lucas - what a wonderful little boy he was. Pictures say a thousand words - your tribute was especially beautiful and filled with love. I loved the photo of your Lucas sharing noses kisses with you - what a sweetie.

Rest in Peace little one, know that your mommy loves you with all her heart.

Betty

RIP Lucas. Play hard and be well at the Rainbow Bridge. You are already deeply missed on this side of the bridge. :(

RIP Lucas...

I'm so sorry. Rest gently, Lucas, sweet orange boy.

Aw, another paw print left on a heart. :)

So sorry that your heart was broken today, Jen. Know that Lucas loves you for all you did and who you are. :( *hugs*

RIP sweet boy

Our cats are never really gone, they have just moved on to another and sometimes better place.

Jen, I'm so sorry to hear this.:( I wish that he could've been with you for a while longer. Now he's at peace and probably playing with Y Lee up at the bridge. RIP sweet Lucas. You'll be very missed around here.:( ((((HUGS))))

Hugs, beautiful boy.

Jen - thank you for sharing the pics of his life and buddies! What a cute little boy he was, and what a gorgeous grownup.

Jen - Thank you for sharing all those photos with us; I particularly liked the first one where he looks so cosy but ready to bound into trouble at any moment. He was a lucky cat to have a wonderful life with you and his friends, and then leave it quickly and calmly in your arms.
