Oh Val, I can hardly type for the tears. Words cannot adequately epxress how utterly heartbroken I am to learn that your precious Duke has passed to the Bridge. You know, I hope you know, how much we all loved him, what a cherished member of the Pet Talk family he was and though he's gone from us in the physical form, his memory, his legacy of love will live on in all of our hearts, forever. Duke has always been one of my fave Pet Talk doggies; he was such a sweet and gentle "old" soul and the deep bond of love and friendship you two shared touched us all over the years. We all know how much he meant to you Val, he was your heart dog, your forever freind, your Duke. You were so kind to me, so caring and genuinely heartbroken during my time of loss and I want you to know how much your sincere sympathies meant to me. I want you to know that at this moment, I am feeling that same sense of heartbreak and helplessness and sadness for you, friend. I wish I could say or do something to make you feel better but I know so well, right now, time is the only true healer; time and the knowledge that others care, that one day you and Duke will be together again. Hold onto that dear friend and the many, many happy memories you hold in your heart. One of my most cherished Duke memories was of the photo shoot you shared with us not too long ago, it was of you and Duke at the beach, you brought that little Chirstmas tree with you. I will never forget those precious photos and what a very special day that was for you and for Duke. I wish I could could give you a hug Val. Please know that I'm thinking of you and Duke. He was so blessed to have a you as his Mom, his protector, his best friend. Sending you all my love and strength, friend.
Love, Sandra and Star
