Our Orangeman: Ralph Syracuse

[phesina]

I am so very, very sorry for the loss of your beloved Orangeman.

That is a wonderful picture of Ralph with his Syracuse cap! What a fine, beautiful cat.

My Mary Lou, Phoebe, Lucy, and Mitsie are showing him around and helping him get settled in by the Bridge.. as are all the other beloved friends there.

PURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRS and headbumpies from Peony, Sydney, Priscilla, and Poppy

We are sad at the passing of our good friends, but after the tears stop, we realize that keeping them with us would not be what a kind and loving guardian would do. We want our dear cats NOT to suffer, and although letting them go is very painful for us, it is the best thing we can do for them. And that final act of love on our part, our cats are ever so grateful. I know I miss Ralph so much. I miss his BROEEW, his face at the door when I came home, helping me make supper, drinking milk from my glass, stealing a tomato and running with it thru the house, swiping broccoli rabe as it cools, watching the Pope's general audience on the computer every Wednesday morning at 0430, and on and on.. but I have ALL those memories of Ralph, it doesn't ease the pain right now, but I can think of Ralph and smile thru my tears....

I am right there with you, Sandra. MY orangeman is missed terribly too. But it would have been selfish to keep him here on earth while the tumor grew at a fantastic rate.

Ralph and Lucas, I am sure, have met up with Y.Lee and many others and are watching over us at this very moment. Can you feel them present in your life?

I'm a bit late but I just wanted you to know how sorry I am to hear about Ralph's passing. RIP sweet Ralph.

I am so sorry to hear about Ralph. Just remember he is in a better place now. I know you miss him terribly.

((((hugs))))

I apologize for not keeping up better and offering my condolences earlier. God Speed, Ralph. You were certainly a handsome orange boy.

Dear Ralph,
Hi my Orangeman!!! It is just over a month that you have been gone! I miss seeing your face at the door when I come home from work, hearing the four o'clock BREOW that all is well, I guess i just miss YOU!!!
I was out on the bridge yesterday. The hemlock tree that you tried to eat is still there!!!
Since it is so hot, I know I would be seeing you stretched out on the table under the ceiling fan. Even with the ac on, you were always on the table.
As you know, Hope Simone sleeps in your Grainger box with the gray mouse that you got when you first came to us back in 1992. I think she still can sense your presence there.
I miss you Ralphie!!!
Love, Mom
