Description
It was a very sad day yesterday for us, when our best friend of almost 20 years had died.
Monkey our cat, was the best companion I've ever had and one doesn't realise how much you miss them, once they are not around anymore.
My Mother and I are grateful for the good times we've had together with her, there was nothing we could do anymore to prolong her life, no matter how much we wished for it - not to come to an end.
"Nothing lasts forever"...in the words Axel Rose, with a heavy heart we had to bury her under the Mulberry Tree, where she used to go every afternoon and catch the last rays of the Sun.
Good-bye and R.I.P. Monkey

I am very sorry for your loss... I do know how you feel. I lost my Panner kitty of 18 years, born on Valentines Day, dies 18 years almost to the day (*Feb 12th). It is devastating. Then 4 years back we lost Shadow our dog, and one year after Smokey our cat (*we have 2 of his sons both are 13). Then I have Jr. my kitty love who is 12 and diabetic so every day is precious even more so. Sorry to be long winded, but you see I do know. I wish nothing but trees to climb, clover, sunshine and mice for Monkey in kitty heaven. She is and will be a part of you and your Mom's life always. Hugs.... Ariana
I am also very upset and heartbroken, having lost our Monkey this way, it's as if somebody chopped off a part of my body - I am totally lost without her and miss her every minute of the day. She certainly was part of our small family and the pain now - is just so hard to bare. Thanks for the dedication Jeff, she will never be forgotten ! BB
I am very sorry,Jeff. Losing a pet is very hard. Monkey will be with you forever- all the memories and the love! Your work is beautiful and emotional!

Wow 20 years... Sorry to hear about your loss... My friend Hurry (orange tom cat) passed away 10 years ago. He was my best buddy for 19 1/2 years... A very gentle and kind feline. He sometimes appears in my dreams at night...
I'm sorry to hear that my friend. But it sounds like she loved you guys enough to last 20 years. That's quite a bit of time. You have my deepest sympathies.
Nice name and dedication for your cat! 20 years is good going!

Our animal friends and companions are as integral a part of our lives as is our human friends and family and their passing hurts just as badly. I have lost more than plenty of both in my life, one can only hope you affected their lives as much as they did yours covering the hole they leave with memories of them as you move on. Peace
Um tributo soberbo a seu gato que partiu. Entristece a noticia meu amigo

Sorry to hear this news my friend, I lost my dog in Januari and still feel a lump in my throat whenever I see a photo of her, I know the feeling and it will need time to heal. Take care and try to remember the good times.
I am so sorry about your cat. I lost my 16-year-old cat a year and a half ago and I still miss him.
I am so sorry to hear that Monkey has died, you will miss her so much. They are so much a part of the family and 20years is a long time to have her. This is a wonderful dedication to her. She was very lucky to have such a lovely loving home.
So sorry for the loss of Monkey... I Don't care what some think Pets of almost any kind are definetly members of the family.
20 yrs Bro,a long life,sorry for your loss Matey.
Monkey is in the happy hunting ground and will watch over you from there for you. so sorry about your loss. i have lost a lot of my babys to eiither old age or health problems but it still hurts when their time comes. i will always have them in my heart and memories of the great times we had together.
So sorry to hear you have lost Monkey, I know how much it must be hurting. Take care. xx
Dude, I am so sorry! Monkey lived a very long and happy life though- RIP Monkey. The craziest thing is we are both named Jeff, both have cats with the same name... It is a long partnership you had with this wonderful kitty- my deepest condolences to you and your mum.
I'm so very sorry, Monkey is no longer with you now. It will be a great loss, it hurts in your heart so much. Trying to find words to comfort you, but haven't any of them, that could put the feelings of lost away. Time heals, is what I can say. In my mind I am with you at this sad time. Wishing you and Brigitte strength and peace, with all that has happened. You have made a great dedication, Jeff. With beautiful pictures in it, from your beloved Monkey.
We invest so much love into our animal familiars that it's always a wrench when they move on. My sympathies go out to you and your family Jeff. I'm sure Monkey will leave a big hole behind him but beware of cats - they all know when a vacancy occurs and I'm sure another critter will turn up to help, they always do. Alol the best my friend and Kia Kaha - stay strong!
A sad day indeed Jeff.
I am very sorry for your loss. A lovely tribute to a love lost.
Jeff, I'm so very sorry to hear you and your mom lost your beloved Monkey. Sounds like a fantastic friend for so many years.I have always had pets in my life and they are like family members. Your words are a beautiful tribute and I know Monkey's spirit will be catching those last rays in your hearts forever. CC
