Good evening friends.

Tonight we say goodbye to Butters.  She passed away yesterday afternoon.  Butters was a member of our good friend Renee Price and family.

I spoke to Renee today and needless to say she is devastated.  She was saying there are no words to describe her pain. We can all relate to that.  Renee also said Butters was her soulmate and there has never been or will be another her.

Very poignant words.  Sammy & Family met Renee a while back and she’s very sweet and a real friend to animals. My boys really took to her and Joan when they visited.  We were really sorry to hear this news.  Let’s keep Renee and family in our prayers.  Rest in peace Butters.  You made the world a better place.

Also in our prayers is Maryann who lost her Shih Tzu named Sammi just last week.  Sammi was 16 years old and had some health problems  and ultimately died of a stroke.  Sammi was Maryann’s best friend and she and her other pets are in great distress.

To Renee and Maryann, Sammy & Family and friends feels sad for the news of  Butters and Sammi.  Please keep us posted on how you guys are doing next couple of weeks.  It sounds like they both had great lives, now they suffer no more.  Maybe we can try to take comfort in that.

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