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

[cyber-sibes]

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.
