Moans & Groans
My forever loved Lucy, my little black and white tuxedo, died on 12-12-22. She was 19. She went in peace in my arms at the vet's, but I haven't been in peace since. I have one left, a rescue, Happy, who is now 7. He tries his best to take the place of Sam & Lucy, and I love him for it, but I swear to God, there will never be another Lucy.
So let's just add to that for this feeling-terrible-for-myself day. Today I happen to be in physical pain along with heartbreak. I'm now in that awful stage of COPD where there's nowhere else to go. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. For the last 2 days, it has been actually painful to breathe so I'm being very quiet and still.
This photo of my Lucy was taken by the vet within 1 min after her passing in my arms:
Just a few days before, she had still made her way around the house even though she had barely any sight left. Here she is in the kitchen with me. There are no words to describe the love I had for my girl.

Beloved Son - Best Friend - Jarred Benjamin Holmes left us suddenly on Friday, February 22nd, 2013 at the age of 32. This kind, loving and loyal person will be greatly missed by all that knew him.
A graduate of F.E. Madill Secondary School in Wingham, Jarred moved to his new life and friends in Kitchener at the age of 18. In younger years his involvement in Air Cadets, and an accomplished trumpet player in swing bands were important. His real , life long passion was martial arts.....an instructor at Shamoun Generation Martial Arts in Kitchener-Waterloo; "SIFU". Jarred always strived to be the best - and taught his students to do the same. Jarred reached that pinnacle of "Black Belt" status this past November.
He is survived by mother Cynthia Low; brother Tristan Holmes; step father Gray Farner; and aunt Wendy Holmes; uncle Glen Holmes; cousin Robin Holmes; sisters Dawn and Andrea and father Don.....J's "second family" the Shamouns are also noted.
Cremation has taken place.
Friends will be received by the family from 7 to 9 PM Saturday at the Schimanski Family Funeral Home where Jarred's Life will be Celebrated on Sunday, March 10th at 2:00 PM officiated by Mr. Don Vair.

At least this would give you something to track him down with. Hope it helps.
When I look at that pic of him with his wife, I can still see his face there. I'd recognize him just about anywhere.
If you get in touch with him, please give him my best as Jenny Crouch, ok?
Let me know any news.
Jenny
