Odie, 11/24/93

You were Sissie's beautiful big boy. You were gone too soon. I'm so sorry. You should have had many more years. I loved you dearly and still do. Be good, big boy. Sissie misses you.

Odie, 02/25/93-01/21/97

Our Dearest Odie-girl,

Life without you has been life without love. We miss you more and more as each day passes. The void in our hearts can be filled by no one and we patiently wait for the day we can come to meet you on Rainbow Bridge.

Be a good girl and our time together will come.

We love you and miss you with all our hearts.

Love, Mommy and Daddy

Sarah Davia and Jim Klingerman


Okie, 6/18/97

We love and miss him very much. Hoping for a good vaccine or cure for FIP.

Oliver, 6/9/97

Oliver was adopted from the shelter as a kitten, by a wonderful lady who took him home and loved him with all her heart. When Oliver was about a year old his Mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She cared for him as long as she was able. She brought him back to the shelter, knowing that she could no longer care for him, in hope that we would find him another home. Oliver didn't do well in the shelter, so I brought him home with me, to live with the rest of my fur babies. Not long afterwards we learned that Oliver's Mom died. Oliver seemed happy at home with us for awhile. Then he became very sick. The vet told us that Oliver had a heart murmer, and was in congestive heart failure. It seemed that Oliver was dying of a broken heart. We took him home and cared for him as best we could, but the medications weren't helping. Rather than see Oliver in pain we decided to send him to the rainbow bridge. It was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I hope that he has joined his first Mom there and that they are together once again. Oliver I miss you, I hope I did the best thing for you and that you found your Mom at the bridge.

Oliver (Ollie), 06/16/87-08/14/97

Ollie, tho just a mutt was so loved by all who knew him. He will always be remembered with such love, as is right for such a wonderful animal.

Oliver, 05/01/93-08/08/97

My Oliver...

So beautiful, sweet, and gentle...My heart is breaking at the thought of never touching you nor kissing your tiny wet nose again.
All the joy you have brought to me is now a mere memory, but oh, what an enchanting memory. I can't wait until the day we meet again, my baby Oliver, so that I can hug you and give you a thousand kisses on your tiny wet nose.

How much Mommy, Tooncie and I love and miss you...

Oliver, 06/17/97

Oliver Kitty was a sweet kitty and had a great personality. He liked to beg for ice cream, but only from Mom's dish.

Oliver liked to sit on Dad's recliner; they would both snooze through the evening.

He liked to wait at the door for us when we got home; he could hear the garage door open, and he made sure he was always there.

Oliver sang to the birds ... he was an indoor cat, so he never got to chase them in person. But he liked to think he could fool them by singing to them.

Oliver would give Mom little "love bites" ... little tiny bites, and then lick her hand. Just to show her that he owned her.

Oliver loved to sleep on the Little Girl's bed .. he liked to purr in her ear in the middle of the night.

Oh, Oliver! We miss you so much. You brought so much joy and happiness to our lives. We know you would want us not to be sad, and over time our hearts will heal. And you will always hold a special, warm place there.

We love you, ya big furball!

Lorita


Olivia, 6/1/97-4/19/98

Oh sweet kitten, I only had you and your baby brother for a little while. You taught me to love cats as much as I love dogs. Thank you, loves.

Donna Healy


Ollie, 4/15/95-9/5/97

Ollie holds a special place in my heart. He was warm, affectionate and loving. He inherited a gene that caused him to bite. I will miss him and love him. He is in a place where he can be himself and will not have to worry about what does that he can't control. He will be happy - I will be happy and also sad that he is not with us.

Cathie


Oly-Bolee, 11/25/97

Oly my baby, thanks for the good years and your sweet love.

Phil


Onyx Christopher Tracy WAMP, 12/04/97

Onyx,
We only had you a short while but the time you were with us was very special. We are missing you very much; you showed us so much unconditional love. I hope you are enjoying fritos and panties where ever you are.

Love,
your family: Rosha, Stephanie, Maura, and Judy


Opus, 5/21/97

TO OPUS,

In the past week since you have been gone, I realize now more than ever that you were a part of me, my true soul mate for thirteen years. You brought my life such happiness and love. I will always remember our wonderful times together throughout the years. We faced life's ups and downs together rite to the very end. A part of my heart has left with you, and I know you can see the tears I cry for you. I hope you are very happy and feel no pain. Please, always remember I Love You more than any words could ever explain. When it is my time to leave this earth, I know you will meet me at the rainbow bridge. Never to be separated again.

All My Love,

Mommy (Danielle Kost-Dolan)


Orange, 7/10/97

"This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you"

My Orange, my beautiful, beautiful Orange. You left us last night and left a place in our hearts that only you can fill. I kissed your nose one last time, for it was the softest nose I ever kissed. You gave us the five most beautiful years with you--filled with wonderful, happy memories. You were always a pillar of strength, and so courageous...even at your last moment. You looked at us as though to tell us it will be ok where you're going. I pray to God that you're happy now.

We will miss so many things about you, our friend...we will miss your purr, the loudest I've ever heard...we will miss your paws. as they pawed for our attention every morning...we will miss your warm body as it lay beside us safe and cozy every night...we will miss you playing with the milk container lids (your favorite toy)...we will miss your somewhat clumsy way as you would bound over us and paw through the window blinds when we were sleeping...but most of all, we will miss your heart, for it was the most beautiful, warm heart that I've ever held close to me. Your siblings will miss you too, for they respected your leadership and strength. We love you, "Orange Head", and will welcome the day when we hold you again. And until that day...you will always be in our hearts and not a day will go by that we won't remember your loving, wide-set eyes as you looked at us with your unconditional love. I hope you will always remember us and will welcome our big hug when we see you again...

God blessed us with your life...we will love you, Orange...forever...

Jana and Chris
(mom and dad)


Orange Boy and Trooper, 08/03/96-08/10/96

How I wish I knew what made you both start to fail and why even though we did everything we could, we couldn't save you. You were both so beautiful and so wanted and survived your not so easy entry into this world, but it was not meant to be. Losing you both just broke my heart but I know we will never forget you both.

Linda Hachtel


Oreo (Little Guy), 5/31/97-11/9/97

You came to me as a frightened little kitten, you left me as sweet loving kitten who gave me so much love and happiness. I'll miss you today and every day until we can all meet at the Rainbow Bridge.

Joyce Rizzo


Oreo, 07/15/97

On July 15th my beloved little fur ball Oreo was put to rest. His life was short but full of love. He gave it freely as only a child can do. Your will be missed by your mommie, grandma your little kitty friend Tuxedo your groomer and all of the neighbors who had a chance to meet. Spike is waiting at the bridge to show you the way . Rest in peace little Oreo

Your loving mommie Barbara


Oreo, 4/27/97

The wonderful cat we picked up as a stray passed away of a strange anemia related condition.

She will be missed sorely by us, and our other cat, Circles.

We miss you Oreo!

Orson, 07/22/85-01/06/97

my boy

1-4-97

my heart, it pains, for what I know
the day soon comes for my boy to go

the joy he's given I can never repay
the love he's shared with me each day.....

1-6-97

the day has arrived, anguish I feel
little did I know, my heart how he'd steal

to bid farewell to him today
is something I never wanted to say

the years, too few, have quickly passed
the memories, innumerable, have amassed

the clock is ticking the hours away
until the time that I must say

goodbye my friend, for now you leave
my heart now shattered, I'll always grieve..................

your sister too, gone from me now
both are angels up in the clouds

although you're gone, through tears I smile
as the hours away, I wile

with the thoughts and memories of times of play
the love, the joy forever with me will stay..

the Big Kahuna he was called
known to many and loved by all

prowess and strength he did portray
the joy of love too, when we'd play

on my lap he'd rest his head
with his sister he shared his bed

when I was told that he was ill
it was hard to swallow, that particular pill

never did I want our world to end
God gave him to me, but only on lend

the security I felt with my boy
is now but a memory as he sleeps with his toys

his bed, now a cloud that he still shares
with his sister, both angels, in heaven, their lair

their love forever with me will be
so many things it has helped me see

but lucky are we to have known
the love and kindness from them that shown

our hearts we did surrender to these two
The Big Kahuna and Little Wahini, too.

the joy they brought, it will never die
to this day I do still cry

the tears for sadness now, and joys gone past
forever with me their love will last.

Oscar, 08/01/94-12/01/97

Oscar

Your quiet presence and gentle touch
Made you very dear to us
So very sweet and always there
To snuggle up and be so dear

From those groggy moments in early morn,
When you'd squeeze your way thru the bathroom door.
A quick snuggle while you sat in my lap,
Then into the tub for a drink from the tap.

You loved to sleep on Daddy's side of the bed,
We always knew by the fur that you'd shed.
I'd look forward to coming home from work
To find you curled up on Daddy's dirty shirt.

Your partner in crime, your best little buddy,
Felix really misses you - she's not the same.
She sits in the kitchen to wait for you there,
She doesn't understand that you're not coming home.

Daddy and I will miss how you'd run along the fence,
And follow us around the yard in the summer months.
We'll carry all our memories of you close to our hearts,
And know that you loved us right from the start.

Kristan Cooper


Oscar, 7/29/97

Oscar, you will always be in my heart and thoughts of you come to my mind everyday.
Nothing could ever replace the love you gave me, and I thank you for making the time we had together the happiest time of my life. Someday we will be together the empty place in my heart will once again be filled.

Heidi Winscher


Oscar, 2/8/97

Goodbye, dear friend. We will never forget you and the life we shared together. You gave us love and wonderful memories which we will cherish forever.

Lisa and Michael Taylor


Oscar, 4/10/79-9/13/96

My friend, Chuck, is having his beloved companion of 17 years put to sleep on Friday, September 13. I pray for his strength in helping his dear friend take that last walk on earth.

Chuck


Oscar Baumgarten, 2/14/82-11/3/97

In Loving Memory of Oscar Baumgarten
"Mommy's Little Angel"

Oscar died after a brief illness with kidney failure. He will be sadly missed by everyone who's lives he touched, especially me. Mommy's little precious angel, I will mourn for you forever more.

Debbie Baumgarten


Oscar Wilde, 12/11/97

Oscar, my sweet boy, you gave me happiness and peace when I had none. Your eyes always sparkled full of love and kindness. I will miss you always, a piece of my heart went with you the day you died. As the words came to me, you said, "Rejoice for me, for my spirit is free in the rain, the wind and the leaves." I love you Oscar and always will. Wait for me at the rainbow bridge. Your mom, Amanda


Oskar, 12/05/86-06/21/94

My darling little puppy who grew into a majestic, good-hearted fellow, with a love of life.
You were always ready to play, and everyone who got to know you, praised your sweet, sweet temperament, and handsome bearing.
After only 7-1/2 years, your departure was far too soon, and I tried so hard to save you.
Your final months were anguish for me but I learned to count each moment with you as a blessing, remembering all the happiness you had brought me.
When it was time to part, it was in a way befitting your character: with pride, and dignity, and gratitude.
You will always be in my heart, dear Oskar.

Joann Furse


Otter, 12/28/96-09/04/97

I'm so sorry Otter that you got pregnant when we were trying to protect you from that. Because of your pregnancy, you lost your life. Thank you for giving us one of your children who by the grace of God is alive today and is nursing from Little Girl. We love you and cannot stop crying for you. I wish you could come back to us somehow. We know that you could not feed the two babies that lived. The one died as you know, but the other one is with us and doing well so far. No one will ever replace you.

Mr and Mrs Mullin


Otto, 6/90-6/96

The most loyal and caring friend I could ask for. Passed away after a struggle with cancer. I miss him every day of my life.

Andrea


Owen, 7/23/97

He was the best cat I've known. He used to bring me apples and gorgeous autumn leaves. He was sensitive, loving, and so intelligent. I miss him so. Please pray for my beloved dear best friend, Owen.

M.R.


Owl, aka Mr. Owl, 11/13/75-09/04/96

For 20 years, a faithful friend, through thick and thin.
A most exceptional cat.
He left us the better for having known him,
and choose a time and place to pass,
more for our conveniance than his own.
There is a hole in my heart.

Most Beloved Boy

Cathy Crossgrove, Paul Polomski
