Phred has Passed, the Prayer Pups join our family & funeral news (pg. 13)

[krazyaboutkatz]

This will always be a sad day for all of us at PT. Even though I never met Phred in person, I was able to talk to him at one of Gini's famous LA BBQ's. It was the year that he sent over the firemen. He was the most caring man and a huge part of PT.

Yes, I agree that PT will never be the same again. I'm just glad to have gotten to know him. Now he's at peace and I'm sure that all of the animals ran to greet him especially the dogs. RIP dear Phred/John. You'll always be missed but will never be forgotten. Some day we will meet. One fine day.

In a few days, maybe we should start a "Memories of Phred" thread for all of us to share stories and memories of him. Our own Pet Talk Tribute to him.

that's a wonderful idea. after I heard, I went back & looked thru pics from the findlay picnics, he always had such a good time there. I would love to post some to a Memorial thread. I'll be watching the board for when it starts.

Well, I was at work when I found out and while I really tried to keep it together (I did too considering I can cry at Hallmark commercials) its all coming loose now.
I keep waiting for someone to pinch me and wake me up.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Phred,
I will never forget all the wonderful things you have done here on PetTalk. You have touched a many of peoples hearts, and made things happen that only you could do. This goes back for my family and I to the old Lucky and Louie Story, To as recent as Jonny Walker. Its saddens me deeply that you were called home. I do understand God does things the we don't understand, such as taking you from here and bringing you home.
Everyone here has been touched by all the nice things you have done for PT. Phred you always knew what to do and how to go about it. Your journey in this life has come to an end BUT your new journey has just began. You sure will be missed here, but I will be looking forward to the day we meet again. Farewell my friend, our thoughts and Preyer's go out to you and your Faimly.

Rest in peace, John, and keep all the furkids at the bridge company.

Never met him in person, but had a few long chats on the phone. PT has lost a great man, but we're all better for knowing him.

[Sonia59]

Oh no. I did not know him, but it's a shock anyway. Rest in peace Phred.

[Barbara]

Dear Phred, heaven is now a better place with you there. But here on earth it is very sad.
Give Boots a hug from me and kiss Filou.

[Kirsten]

OMG, I can't believe this! I'm so shocked I don't even know what to say right now.

R.I.P. dear Phred!

[robinh]

Still can't seem to get my head around the fact that he's gone.

I never had the pleasure of meeting Phred, but followed all his posts sometimes with with laughter and sometimes with tears. He will be greatly missed by all. RIP Phred.

Such a sad day, such a big loss.

Despite there being an ocean separating our abodes and never having met, nor indeed even spoken to each other, today I feel, as Karen does, that I have lost a family member.

Rest in Peace dearest Phred.

[Randi]

I'm at a loss for words right now and feeling very sad. Phred was a pillar of PT and like family.

Rest in Peace, dear Phred! You will be greatly missed.

Will write more later...

Does anyone remember the old (OLD!) thread about jobs in Pettalkville? I don't recall what Phred wanted -probably something in the line of fire (literally!). Don'tcha just know he's there doing it now?


Edit again:
What would your job be in Pettalkville?

Maybe we should name our Petalkville Fire Station the Sammi Station.

We'll keep the Fire Engines all nice & polished ...
Dad sez he wants ta *drive*!
Cinder will make "siren noises"!

Have fun at Sammi Station, Phred. We know you'll keep the engines polished and looking their very best!
