Good evening friends.

Tonight we pay tribute to a magical Pomeranian, Punkin Marie. Punkin was a member of our great friend, Susan Joseph & family. She passed on October 6th, 2017 at 12 years old.

Punkin’s health started deteriorating in the first few days of October, and then rapidly declined. Showing mercy and saying goodbye was the only loving move left to make.

Susan is a major animal lover and Punkin Marie was her world. Punkin is the perfect depiction of why dogs are considered Man’s best friend. Punkin was Susan’s best friend, buddy and sidekick all at the same time.

As a human dad to 7 dogs, I hope to offer some consoling for such loss and heartache. Susan, you gave Punkin Marie a life filled with love and joy for 12 straight years. That’s nothing short of a miracle right there.

Sammy & Family thanks you for the life you gave Punkin. While Punkin is now gone, she’ll never be forgotten. The world is a better place because she was in it.

A random act of kindness may not change the world, but it changes the world for the recipient of that kindness. Susan showed that kindness to Punkin for 12 years and made her world.

In the words of Pope Francis, “One day, we will see our animals again in the eternity of Christ.”

No lives will go in vain. No pain will go unnoticed. Amen. Scott Smith for Sammy & Family.
