*Rainbow Bridge*

Sylvester Packer entered the {Rainbow Bridge} on April 1, 2009. The Packer household on Albrecht Lane has not been the same without you. Kyle is away at basic training and he has no idea at this point. But when he returns home he will find a beautiful urn with your ashes and your sweet little paw prints that your mother picked out. Originally you had been without a home and we think that an angel must have sent you to the Packer house (about three years ago)..you had many medical issues and the angel knew that you would be in good hands with your new parents. You were well known at the veterinarian and loved by all. You couldn't have been sent to a more loving family that made you as comfortable as possible until it was your time to leave. Soon there will be a special garden in your memory in the same area that you enjoyed laying near the house. Ernie, Cherry & Kyle sends you hugs and kisses!

~Rainbow Bridge~

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content; except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
