    I'm sure there is a big partee going on up there for such a "speshul" guy. Down here, you never walk alone for John is right beside you every minute of every day. Those flowers are absolutely beautiful and isn't is wonderful that the roses should wait until just this day to bloom?? Coincidence?? I think not!

    Big {{{hugs}}} to you my dear friend on this bittersweet day. ♥♥
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    I didn't know John, but every time this thread comes up I love seeing how lovingly his resting place is tended to. That little bronze cat is perfect, and the rose is a beautiful tribute to him.

    Thank you Wolf_Q!

    I got to read two of his threads, and will seek out more.

    What a beautiful and perfect resting place for Jonza...I wish I had known him, he seems a wonderful person who loved life.

    As I said, Randi - Fister picks only the very best!

    Bless you.

    Randi, I haven't been here long enough to have known John, but clearly he was a wonderful person who loved and is loved deeply. On his birthday I want to say thank you for sharing him with me now. I feel privileged to have come to know him a bit just from these messages (and taking a look through [and bookmarking] the "Feline Princess" thread).

    What a beautiful headstone, so simple. And, such lovely flowers. So sweet of you to share these photos with everyone. And, I have to say, those squirrels are gorgeous, I can't remember seeing any that color before, not in person anyway.

    I made a wreath the other day and went to put it... and some tulips, on John’s grave. Unfortunately it had been raining, so the stone doesn’t look it’s best.

    Anyway, here’s a few pictures of what it looks like now.

    Randi, what a loving tribute to a beautiful man. I have always loved that kitty by the headstone.

    It looks so beautiful and also peaceful.

    Randi, what a beautiful rose. I cannot believe that it would bloom perfectly in time for John's birthday.

    I think all of us miss John, but we have such wonderful memories here at PT of his "tails".

    Thanks for sharing these photos with us. ♥♥♥
