Sorry for you loss Marsha Keep in mind that you gave him a good life. -----Original Message----- From: Felvtalk [mailto:felvtalk-boun...@felineleukemia.org] On Behalf Of Margo Sent: 16 May 2015 18:17 To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] My Harley is gone
Marsha, I'm so sorry. Sometimes all we can do is ease their way to The Bridge, and hold them in our hearts after they've gone on. Milkdud was waiting for him, and together they'll wait for you. Someday you'll meet them there, and together you'll cross to whatever comes next... My thoughts are with you, Margo, Mako and Gribble -----Original Message----- >From: Marsha <mar...@lynxe.com> >Sent: May 15, 2015 9:24 PM >To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org >Subject: [Felvtalk] My Harley is gone > >My sweet little FeLV+ Harley, just barely 5 years old, went to join his >buddy Milkdud across the Rainbow Bridge today.
