Dear Phred,

I am so sorry you had to go so soon and that you suffered in your last time here on Earth, but now you are at peace and getting reunited with Boots, Bowser and all the other critters who left before you. I picture you and John (Jonza) sitting together sharing stories and having a good laugh and a few beers - and stroking all the cats and dogs, who surely are queing up around you. Down here we will miss you terribly!! PT will never be the same without you. You were here to lend a helping hand/paw to literally all members - and I will never forget what a comfort you were to me when John passed.

When I first joined PT, I soon came across your “gibberish” posts and could not understand half of it, but with a bit of concentration I quickly learned to enjoy what you had to say - to an extent where I was falling off the chair with laughter. That goes for John, too. He was quite proud of you calling him “his buddy”.

I am so glad we kept in touch over all these years and that I got to speak to you a couple of times on the phone, but this last last time, my heart sank. I could hear how bad you were feeling and I knew you were ready to join the others at the RB. I will try to focus on the good times we had - I know that’s what you wanted.

Phred, you were a true friend... so caring, generous and helpful towards everyone on your path, and you had the best sense of humor. You will be deeply missed, but you will stay in my heart forever and never be forgotten.

Now rest easy, Phred and get ready for your big job at the RB... what lucky critters up there.



I am so relieved learning that Cinder, Smoke and Heidi will be staying with a PTalker and I hope Phred knew that was going to happen. Thank you so much, Diana and Carl!
