Leonardo is now at the Bridge

[kb2yjx]

After putting our Norton to sleep two weeks ago, I can tell you, it is not easy. But when our dear cats are in pain, losing their dignity, or worse, allowing them to go in peace is the LAST gift we can give them. I would give anything to have Norton or any of our Rainbow Cats alive, but they had to leave...I will keep you in my prayers...Sleep softly, dear Leonardo...

[Prairie Purrs]

I'm so very sorry. Leonardo is free from his pain now, but it hurts so much to be left behind.

RIP, Leonardo. Run free at the Bridge, and please let your meowmie know that you'll be watching over her.

Sweet Leonardo of the stripey grey fur
So many years you graced this earth
With your presence and your purr
But time moved on, as it always does
And pain came, despite the care and the love
And your momma's heart is sore now
She loved you so very much
Please send her purrs and nose rubs
As you watch her from above
Play nicely at The Rainbow Bridge
Until that one fine day
And know that, though she misses you
We are glad your pain has forever gone away.
You're in her heart, and always will be
Sweet Leonardo, solid gentlecat grey and stripey

MAJOR LES....

Connie, I'm so sorry about Leonardo, but you know he told you it was time to move on. Please don't ever second guess that decision; you did what was best his whole long life.

Peace to you, and Godspeed to Leonardo. Drift in and check on your Mom once in a while, sweetie. Say 'hi' to my baby Jamara, she's a grey gal about your age - she'll show you around!

[Medusa]

Connie, this is such a sad time for you. All of your PT family know the pain that you're experiencing and we're here to shoulder some of it for you. Leonardo was such a handsome boy and because of you he lived a wonderful life. You did the last act of kindness for him and for that he'll love you even more and will show you just how much upon your reunion "one fine day", as our Gary would say. RIP, handsome Leonardo and peace to your mom.

I'm so sorry about Leonardo. You gave him lots of loving.

Oh Connie I am so sorry this had to happen.. I am in tears right now.. Bless both your broken hearts now.. Godspeed Leonardo to the Bridge.. May the PT Angels be carring you thru the Golden Gates of RB.. May both of your broken hearts heal in time.. RIP Leonardo..

Oh Connie, my heart breaks for you. Yes, Leonardo is now comfortable, no more pain - and probably romping around meeting new friends.

But what about you - you are left with this huge hole in your heart because of his loss.

It really "is" as though your heart has been ripped out while you are alive.

I know your pain - I have been there - and I would like to take some of it away for you.

I would wrap my arms around you and comfort you if I was close to you.

LES - go ahead - shed those tears and let that release comfort you.

I am so very sorry.

I am so sorry for your loss. RIP dear Leonardo. You will be greatly missed.

[phesina]

Connie, I am so very sorry. What a beautiful, loving, cherished fellow. So hard to say farewell.

LES here too. Prayers and candles for you and Leonardo.

Love, {{{{HUGS}}}, and ~~~~~~PURRS~~~~~~,
Pat and cats

Dear Connie, I'm so very sorry to read of your loss of Leonardo. He really was such a special boy. I know you have a huge hole in your heart now, but Leonardo will still be there with you. You have freed him of pain and suffering and I'm sure he will romp around with he other kitties at the RB.
Connie, I hope it will be a comfort for you that he had a good and long life with you.

Rest in Peace sweet, Leonardo - you will never be forgotten.

Big ((((hugs)))))

[Zippy]

So Sorry to hear about your Beautiful Boy Leonardo.
((((HUGS))))
Rest in Peace Leonardo

[momoffuzzyfaces]

Thank you all so very much. You love and support mean more to me and my boy than you will ever know.

Karen, your poem is beautiful. Thank you!!!

[catlady1945]

We are sorry for your loss. Leonardo was a beautiful cat.

We are in the same position with our 19 and 20 year olds. The 20-year old still manages to get around, but don't know how much longer she can hold on.

[rosethecopycat]

I'm sorry that you are separated from your dear Leonardo now.
He could not have asked for a better life on this earth, than with you.

You will see each other again, at the Grand Reunion.

Godspeed, Leonardo
