Thank
You
First & foremost, thank you to our dear
veterinarian, Dr. Pete Magnuson, Siren Veterinary & Grantsburg
Veterinary clinics, who did absolutely everything humanly
possible to help our sweet boy. Also, to the great people at
both clinics who were very helpful & kind. Thank you for the
card & forget-me-not flowers which we will plant in the spring
for Josie.
Thank you to Dr. Theresa Herbers, the doctor at the University
of Minnesota Small Animal Veterinary Hospital, the evening we
brought our sweet baby in for hopeful treatment. She was very
kind, caring and willing to do whatever she could for us to help
our boy.
Dr. Jason Squibb, U of M, who went above & beyond to see if he
could find something to help our dear boy. He had Josie all day,
taking him from one testing area to another. He fell in love
with our little man, calling him "the little trooper". He cried
with us when we said Goodbye to the greatest cat on Earth. When
we were done cradling Josie, he held the lifeless body of our
guy like it was precious china. I appreciated that more than he
will ever know.
Thank you so much to our dear daughter GinaLee, because she is
the one that blessed me with Josie. What a great Mothers Day
gift, 2002. She met us at the U of M hospital to be with us when
we left our dear boy overnight. She brought us a beautiful gift
basket (which Sulley now sleeps in) with flowers, food & drinks
- because we hadn't eaten & a "Get well card" for Josie. Josie
loved seeing her there. Gina was also there for us when we had
to say goodbye. It was only fitting, she gave him to us and she
was there to say goodbye to him. Thank you Gina., it meant more
to us than you will ever know.
Thank you SO very much to our dear, wonderful friends, Cynthia
& Eric Nichols for their help before, during & after losing our
love.
Such appreciation goes to our awesome friends, Marsha & Mike
Stockton from Oklahoma, who sent us the most incredible gift
when I needed it most. A beautiful statue of an angel holding a
cat, which is placed next to Josie's bronze urn on his memorial
shelf. This gift will be honored forever. We love you!
Thank you to our other children, Shannon & Brendan. Shannon,
Justin, Linden & Linnea for the e-card expressing sympathy for
our loss & many phone calls. Brendan & Paulina for the continued
phone calls to let us know they care. It is family support that
helps right now, & I am struggling with such deep grief.
A special thank you to Sherin, a wonderful person I met in the
Yahoo FIP Support Group,who made the beautiful Memorial graphic
of Josie and re-designed Josie's FIP Memorial site. Thank you
so much Sherin, your generousity overwhelms me!
Thank you for the most wonderful card & heartfelt sentiments
from my dear Aunt Dolly, Lynette Mathiason. It brought tears to
my eyes.
Thank you also, to the FIP group on Yahoo.com for all of their
support, advice & lots of love. I thank all of you for being
there for me & my husband when we were begging & searching for
help.
I have many awesome friends on Pogo.com, also that were so very
caring, loving & supportive. The greatest of all these friends
is Glenda Ward. Dearest Glenda befriended me when I truly needed
a friend. She sent me cards, e-mails and she even sent an
incredible memorial bench. I will add a gift page to show the
wonderful things that were given to us to honor Josie. A friend
of Glenda's, Chris, was also a great and helpful support.
A lot of people do not understand the depth of pain that comes
to someone who has had a true companion pet, or for us, a pet
that was treated and acted like our child. For those that do and
have understood our terrible loss, we thank you so much. Each
e-mail, phone call, card, etc. meant so much to us. We hope to
never have to deal with an untimely loss of our loves again.
