So sorry for your lose.

Suzanne and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I could be there tomorrow but we have leaving for the UP camping. I was hoping to stop on the way but I cannot leave our cat in the hot car. Stan was like my brother and the rest of the siblings have always had a special place in my heart. I used to stay with them several weeks during the summer. God Bless and comfort you at this time of loss and let us rejoice that we know where he is starting his new life.
