My sweet Pixie,

This is so hard. I feel your loss everyday. I feel so much guilt. I know there's something I missed, you weren't ready. I was scared. I made the decision by myself so I only have myself to blame. I wish things hadn't happened so fast, I wish I'd waited another hour at least, held you longer. I was scared, so scared you were suffering, but I don't know for sure! I took you from your baby, he misses you licking his face and lying next to him, I'm so sorry! I'm not sure I'll ever forgive myself ever for the rest of my life. If I'd only had more money, a better vet.... I loved you from day one and you weren't even supposed to be mine. You were my twin soul, I swear it. I let you down. Damn it.

I just don't know how to handle this loss, I'm trying to focus on all the time we had and the love. I hope, with all my might, that I'll see you again someday in some form. I love you, I love you my beautiful, beautiful girl.

Love always,

Your Mama

Sweet Chloe,

Chloe’s Love

A wagging tail, a gentle paw,

A love so pure, without a flaw.

With sparkling eyes and boundless cheer,

She filled our home with warmth sincere.

She greeted us with happy leaps,

A loyal heart, a love so deep.

Through every laugh, through every tear,

Chloe’s presence felt so near.

She chased the sun, she danced with glee,

A spirit wild, yet sweet and free.

Her joyful bark, her soft embrace,

Made our house a brighter place.

Though now she rests, her love remains,

In memories sweet, in love unchained.

For in our hearts, she’ll always stay,

Our Chloe girl, our brightest day.

Missing you,

Aponte family

My sweet Chloe,

In Loving Memory of Chloe

08/23/2010 - 02/17/2025

With heavy hearts, we say goodbye to our beloved Chloe, who brought 15 years of joy, love, and unwavering companionship to our family. From the moment she entered our lives, Chloe was more than just a pet—she was family, a best friend, and a source of endless happiness.

Chloe had a spirit as big as the world she loved to explore. She never turned down a long walk, especially if it led her to the beach, where she could feel the sand beneath her paws and the water against her fur. She had a voice that couldn’t be ignored, letting the world know she was there with her proud, playful barks at every passerby. And when it came to treats, there was no snack too big or too small—she savored every bite with enthusiasm.

But more than anything, Chloe loved us. She was always there, through every moment, sharing in our joys and comforting us in our sorrows. Her loyalty, warmth, and unconditional love will never be forgotten. Though our hearts are heavy with loss, we are grateful for every year, every adventure, and every precious moment we shared with her.

Chloe, you will always be missed, but never forgotten. Run free, sweet girl, and know that you are loved forever.

Love,

The Aponte Family

Sweet Bodie Boy,

It has been a little over two months since you left. Some days the pain and longing for you are so bad I can hardly stand it. Today was one of those days. I feel you everywhere and the crying doesn't stop. Papa doesn't understand that we had a strong bond and it is difficult to get over your leaving. I miss you so much and love you so much.

I am still carrying anger for what happened to you. You should still be with me. Help me to get over this my dear Bodie.

We are getting a new fur baby in March and we have been going to see him. He is very sweet, but the bond isn't there yet. He and I will have to work on that.

I light a candle by your ashes and that helps a little bit. I see you face all the time and it breaks my heart. I hope with time that the pain will lesson and I can have memories of you that bring me joy instead of pain. I love you with all my heart and hope someday we will be together again.

Love,

Mama

My sweet Cookie,

I am so lost right now. The unbearable guilt of having to make that hard decision of letting you go is killing me. I keep hearing that I did the right thing for you and ended your pain. But, I can’t find it in me to feel that way right now..

Today was so difficult not being able to do our everyday routine. You waking me up at 5am to eat. Me giving you your meds and cleaning up after you. You greeting me and kissing my forehead when I get home from work is one of the things I will miss the most.

I miss you so much and I picture you everywhere you used to like to lay down for naps.

You will forever live in my heart my sweet Cookie. Please visit me ♥️ I love you!

Love,

Mom

My sweet Molly-Moo,

Baby girl. Princess. I'm heartbroken as I write this. It's been only a couple of days since I found you lifeless at the bottom of the pool. It never should have been that way - you didn't deserve that. I promised to always take care of you and never let you be scared and I feel like I let you down. You were always there for me and I feel like I wasn't there for you when you needed me the most. I will never know what really happened but I pray you didn't suffer or feel any pain and you went peacefully. In the days leading up to your passing you had stopped eating and you weren't really acting like yourself. I wondered if you were trying to tell me it was your time - maybe it was. Maybe you didn't want me to be there when you passed - maybe you wanted to spare me in that moment. I'll never know for sure.

I hope you know how much I loved you and still love you. You came into my life when I needed you the most - and you chose me as your person. You were always so sweet and precious even though you had a little attitude thrown in. You didn't like strangers and usually took awhile to warm up to people but you showed the sweetest love to the those you cared about. You were such a good girl. I have so many wonderful memories and pictures of you.

We miss you terribly. I think your brother misses you too - he looks for you or sniffs around your bed sometimes. He loved you as much as we did. You will be in our hearts forever. Remember, Mama loves you.

Love always,

Mama, Jen, and Phoenix

My sweet Hercules,

Words cannot describe what I am feeling now. I have had you for 10 years my baby boy. I remember the joy when I was 17 years old and held you for the first time in my arms. My mom didn't know anything. You were a craiglist puppy I got for $100. I had to convince the owner to drop the price on you and he made me promise to take good care of you. I tried my best for 10 years. You stayed at my mom's house because I just couldn't take you away from them either. You were out first official family dog. Thanks to you, everyone in the family eventually got their own puppy. You brought us peace and love in the family. I will always appreciate you and remember you. Nobody will ever replace you. I remember when my mom first found out she was a bit mad, but after a while you convinced her to let you stay. We went to the park together and played in the backyard. Once I moved out, I always stopped by to say hello. But you're favorite thing to do, was grab a rock and roll it around. Not sure why haha. But that was your thing, and that's why your teeth started to grind down due to all the rocks you would bite and roll. There are many things I can tell you. Many stories to tell about you. But unfortunately, yesterday, the doctor told us "his life is more negative than positive." My heart shattered to pieces. I had hoped there was a cure, a medication or something. But to hear those words ring across the room, made me want to scream at the top of my lungs. I am so sorry you were in much pain. You weren't able to walk anymore without assistance at all times. Your arthritis got the best of you. You got so skinny and lost weight quickly. You didn't even want to eat anymore. I haven't been able to sleep well. I have been crying all week. I fell asleep crying and now all I can do is think to myself that you aren't in pain anymore. I love you so much. Be good to Jimmy and Tia Alba ok? They are going to take care of you. Of course, God will too. Whenever you want to come visit please do. I am so sorry Hercules. Thank you for being in our lives. 😭🩷

Love,

Sam, your mom 🩷

My dearest August Hunter,

Losing you was worse than losing a child because you were infallible you were unconditional love as Jesus loves us all without limits. You taught me more in your life and death than any human . I love you . I am sorry I let you down . I thought I would be gone before you but I need to stay to get my soul in order with God. You were in so much pain I caused that pain by not being good and kind and loving. I need to turn to Jesus you have led me to Him in losing you . I will be home with you soon . Please Rest Please just Relax and find sweet comfort with Our Lord. You were a soul without sin but I need to repent and I need to change my heart .

I love you . I miss you . I am longing to be with you again. Please know mommy loves you so much. A million kisses.

Love,

Your Mom

My dearest Coco,

We just lost you last night, and today has been hard. I remember finding you when I was in college on my family’s farm, and you let me pick you up immediately. I remember introducing you to my then boyfriend, and I remember moving you in with us once we got married. I remember years of you hopping on our bed to say goodnight, then hopping back on to say good morning. You always, always purred with me. You sat with me when I cried and loved on me when I was stuck in bed with depression. You grew to tolerate Chuckles the Cat when we introduced him to you, and we appreciate that. You were honestly the best cat ever, and the house feels emptier and quieter with you gone. I know it’ll get better, but right now it’s hard. We love you, Coco. I’m glad you’re not in anymore pain. 15 years of knowing you doesn’t seem long enough, but I’m just glad you’re okay and no longer in pain. We all love you, and thank you for loving us so well.

Love always,

Mama, Daddy and Chuckles
