William crossed over late yesterday, his final journey.
I simply have no words to express the depth of my heartfelt thanks for the compassionate messages you all have left over the last several days. Each has helped beyond measure, and I am deeply grateful for your kind devotion. It's comforting to know he was loved by so many beyond us.
We will feel the very large void left by this little cat for some time, but we'll be back when our tears have dried and our hearts begin to mend.
Hugs and love from all of us. We understand, completely.
ReplyDeleteMuch love to you. William was a fine and noble cat, and he was blessed beyond measure to have found you.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to know you will be back with us when you are ready, as we love you and will always want to know what's up with you and Elliott and Screamoline (Many kisses, LCG!), the very handsome Ivan and the Orinch Menace. William taught them well.
We will always keep William in our hearts.
We're so sorry. Pawhugs.

There is still so much, too much, to sort out about a loss, a sorrow. Words cannot capture the heartache, or make sense of something so senseless. So I won’t try.
ReplyDeleteThis much I know.
I know that when confronted with anguish we cannot comprehend, we pull together and embrace our virtual and real family more tightly.
At a time like this, we must count our blessings. And as we do, we come to be reminded that the depth of our grief also reveals the depth of our love and our resolve.
Farewell for now Sweet WMD, until we meet again.
Dear friend William we will never forget you and will love you always. We know your siblings were there to meet you. We are not saying good bye but just "until we meet at the Bridge'
ReplyDeleteGodspeed your journey to heaven William, we are truly sorry. We send our sincerest sympathies to your family, your mom mostly, as we know how devastated she is. We will not say good bye, as we believe we all see each other again, some day....until then hugs and love from boomer, daisy, tuna; and dude and sauce too. ❤️❤️❤️
ReplyDeleteEu lamento muito, não é fácil dizer adeus para uma dos nossos filhos peludos. Recebam todo o nosso carinho.
ReplyDeleteAdri
Love you and will miss you dearly, sweet William.
ReplyDeleteLove you and will miss you dearly, sweet William.
ReplyDeleteWords alone cannot express how our hearts are breaking for your loss. We will always love William (as will many), but we wouldn't want him to suffer either. Fly high sweet boy - until we meet again some day.
ReplyDeleteIt hurts to lose our fur babies. Many hugs and purrs and purrayers during this difficult time.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy. Sending you hugs.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry dear William had to pass. I totally understand this heart-ache. I pray you can move through the grieving at just the right pace, and with the least pain possible, whatever is best for you. I know William will be around you in Heaven for awhile.
ReplyDeleteSo much love and tons of hugs from Orbit's dad and mom. We get so damned attached to these little creatures like we do our children. This got me teared up again, and most likely especially because William and Orbit share the same handsome looks. Just know that so many of us are right there with you in sadness, and we're all thinking of you at this terribly sad time. I tried reading this post to my wife and couldn't just now without choking up like a baby. Hang in there, and take it easy.
ReplyDeleteI sent my Dumpling over the bridge last Friday. I am grieving with you. As much as we know it is better for them, we miss them terribly.
ReplyDeleteWe are so very sorry. We send you comforting purrs and gentle headbutts. William touched so many and will be greatly missed.
ReplyDeleteI'm here to pay my respects to William. I rarely comment here due to time but know William. His reputation proceeded him. *bows head* I'm sending comforting purrz to all those he leaves behind.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace.
