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

Phred,
You always knew what to say, you offered the best advice about life, relationships, etc. I'll always remember you and I'm sad I have never had the chance to meet you, but I feel like I already have. Bless you, and godspeed. I'm sure Benny, Anna, and Rosie have greeted you along with so many of our loved RB pets!

Rest in peace Phred. You were loved by many. My dear baby boy Griffin, I am sure was at the bridge to greet you. You will be deeply missed.

I'm on here in tears again. At least we can all take comfort in knowing there's someone wonderful to take great care of our pets who have crossed over. I'm sure he's met Reggie and Smokey by now. I found my pics from my two trips to Findlay, it was bittersweet looking at them. There's some RB doggies too which I'm sure Phred is taking care of now. Miss ya Phred, you were one of a kind, wish I had the chance to see you one last time.

Is there any possibility of establishing some sort of memorial to Phred at the Findlay dog park? A bench or something, with a plaque? I'd surely contribute to that.

I think this is a wonderful idea.

There already is a bench there from Pet Talk and I'm not to sure they would be keen on adding another one from us.
I've been toying with the idea donating some animal books in his honor at his local library.
I am confident we will do a memorial service of some kind over the Memorial Day weekend.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. Phred's presence will be felt here always. There is joy at the Rainbow Bridge today. . .the babies got one of their human angels back to be with them.. .

What about another plaque to affix to the current bench?

I having been thinking about the idea of Memorial Day since last night. Since it is only Decembr now, that might give people time to plan, save money and make the trip from further away. I'd love to see it be our biggest gathering ever, to get together and share our memories of a great friend.

I'm sitting here in tears again. Luckily I'm still at home. I feel like I've lost a member of my own family. He has touched so many peoples lives in such a positive way. The world was a better place with him in it. We have lost not only a wonderful member of PT but a beloved caring great man. I'm just so lucky to have known such a man.

I couldn't have said it better, Tracey! I too, found out about this from FB and came right over. I didn't get to meet John/Phred in person - but he was certainly a pillar of this community. I'll never forget the year of the firemen at the southern CA BBQ!
He always had something positive to say and prayers to give for those in need. Reading through all these posts brought tears to my eyes. He will certainly be missed.
Although I don't have a dog - I'm close enough to actually drive to Findley this year...hmmmm....
