Dear sweet Duke, your mom was very brave to let you go so lovingly. Play happily at the bridge, dear sweet boy, you are whole and well again. I know your spirit will keep close to your mom, and she will feel you near. She loved you so.

(((((hugs)))) Val, there are no words to ease the depth of your pain, I'm so sorry for your loss. My heartdog Rosie & kitty ChowChow are there too, I know how much it hurts to let them go.
Sending you prayers and (((hugs)))
