Sam aka Shemp has passed away

[CultureJunky]

I am so sorry to hear that Shemp has crossed to the rainbow bridge, but I'm sure he's there somwhere amongst a pile of cats having a cuddle and having a nice rest with all the others, his friends that he can meet again and talk about their dad and the good old days, and speak of the day when he will meet you again.
My most hearfelt wishes to you Gary, you are a super pawpa to all your cats and Shemp loved you dearly. Shemp is one of the first siamese/tonkinese cats that I encountered on Pet Talk and I'll never forget him. He also introduced me to the phrase 'meezer' which I'd never heard before!
You will be missed by all Shemp, Rest In Peace
Love Kate, Jack & Sunny

Gary,

I'm so sorry for your loss. And like Catty1 said, you have absolutely nothing to forgive. You gave Shemp the love and care that he deserved. It was time for Shemp to pass over and not feel pain any longer. That was a very unselfish act for you to do and very difficult, I'm sure!

Gary, I am so sorry to hear about Sam (Shemp)'s passing. You did what was best for him out of sheer love for your friend. You did not want to see him in pain, so you did the right thing. He is in a better place now at the bridge along with all those that have gone before him, and he will be waiting to greet all who will arrive , when it is time. You have so many wonderful photos and many more fond memories, and that is most important.
Take care, and don't be hard on yourself.
