I lit my outside candle at 1600. I thought of Barney while cooking at the ham club meeting/supper. I am so glad you all were there holding hands and hugging each other!!! I was there in spirit!!! Here is a little poem book that I bought after Ralph Syracuse left for the Bridge.

WEEP NOT FOR ME Constance Jenkins

Weep not for me though I am gone
Into that gentle night.

Grieve if you will, but not for long.

Upon my soul's sweet flight.

I am at peace, my soul's at rest.

There is no need for tears;

For with your love I was so blessed
For all those many years.

There is no pain, I suffer not;

The fear now is all gone.

Put now these things out of your thoughts,
In your memory I live on.

Remember not my fight for breath,
Remember not the strife.

Please do not dwell on my death,
Bur celebrate my life.

Sleep softly, sweet Barney...

I wish you could all see how many people are reading this thread right now. I just clicked on the online users link and way over half on the first page were reading this thread. Barney was a very loved kitty. What a rough day you had. I do hope that you feel some comfort and support from all of us here.

Thank you Scott for Barney's good-bye video.

Thank you Lara for allowing us to be part of his life, too. I am so very sorry for your loss, for our loss. It hurts so much even though we all know he is at peace and surrounded by PT angels. God bless you, Lara and Scott.

Love,
Mary

But, as you said, he is at peace and his suffering is over. We were all a mess here this afternoon, as I'm sure you saw in our posts, but I am glad that Barney's and your ordeal is over. Bless his sweet little heart, this is a kitty that none of us will ever forget. We will also never forget your kindness, love and compassion for this lost little angel. I believe that there is a special place in Heaven for people like you. Take comfort in knowing that while Barney was with you, you did your absolute best for him, and when the time came, you said goodbye to him with love and compassion. None of us can ever hope for more. God bless and keep you, Lara and Scott. Your Barney is purring happily and smiling down on you from the Bridge.

Lara, I am just so sorry. I am crying my eyes out, with the rest of you.

I could not sleep at all last night, just thinking about sweet Barney. I prayed for him all day long. All last night. And I mean constantly. I kept looking at the clock and cringing. My heart hurts right now.

I wish I could give you one big *HUG*. I hope that you truly know the impact you had on Barneys life. It was the difference for him.




RIP sweet Barney. I am so sorry your whole life was not filled everyday with the love you felt in your last days. You were so unlucky, but then again, very much lucky. I think God knew you deserved the very best last few months with someone who loves you completely and wholeheartedly. You can now be Lara and Scotts Angel, and protect them like they did you. I hope that you can see my tears, and know that I loved you very much, even though I never met you. I feel I knew you anyways.... Gentle kisses sweet Tuxie boy.

I'm just now getting caught up on this thread and was unable to post anything until now.

Lara, Scott, and Barney, I thought of all of you today and like everyone else has said it's been a very sad and tearful day. I'm glad that Barney is finally painfree and at peace now. We'll never forget you Barney. RIP sweet boy.

Grace, that's beautiful.
Kb, such comforting words.

I'm finally home from work and will be lighting a candle for Barney shortly. It seems I've perfected the talent of driving and crying at the same time...

Gosh, I'm worried about Lara and Scott. This first night will be a long one for them. They have us and each other along with the rest of their furbabies but I fear that may not be enough to bring them comfort tonight.
