Dooks to everybody from a Lover of All of God's Creatures (almost all). 1. To Katherine & Dale, What happened to Coco Puff could happen to any one of our fuzzy-kids. What is important is that you gave CocoPuff Love, and she will retain that love throughout eternity. Since God gave, and still gives, life to all things, the spirit of that creature will return to the Creator, and you will be reunited again. 2. To Brian & Lisa, Saying good-bye is always difficult. Love is the one thing that brings us the greatest joy and the greatest pain. But rest assured, one day you will be reunited with Chi-Chi, and you will again have joy of loving Chi Chi, but never again suffer the loss of companionship with Chi Chi, where life will continue forever in the presence of our Heavenly Father. 3 To Christy & Tim, I share the sorrow you feel over the passing of Andy, from the physical world to the spiritual world. As with the others, God is merciful and just and He is PURE LOVE. You too, will see Andy again, and I am sure the Sandee is helping all of the furr-kids to adjust to the unsurpassed glory and pleasure to be found in Heaven. 4. To JF, I am sorry that you think that communication with or from Sandee is a joke or farce, to you in remembering the passing of a beloved pet and companion. I believe that Sandee is a real presence, and that she is giving comfort to those who are left behind. This is no different than that of a human funeral service, as we try to assist those who are left behind to deal with their grief and sense of loss. As an ordained minister, I have seen those who do not believe in an after-life, and their loss is greater for they have no hope. But for those who believe in God, The Creator, and that HE Lives and is LOVE, have a deep grief, but they have the hope of life eternal with their loved ones. I am sorry for the sermon, but I hope and pray that one day your heart will be turned so that you too will know the joy of knowing that after this life, life eternal begins. Peace to all from God our Father, may your hearts be filled with joy of life and Love.
