"When I found Jennifer, it had been months since I lost Sunny Boy, my beloved, fiery, confident ginger cat. Sunny Boy and I had to go through so many losses together; to have lost him seemed too much for me to ever accept. Having my memories only made the pain deeper. Jennifer understood as only one can who knows, respects and loves animals and understands and accepts the strong emotions that are involved. I needed someone to talk and to share who could be with me where I was. Jennifer is that person. Thank You Jennifer for helping me and will continue to help me and for sharing my love and honor and wonder and respect for Sunny Boy. I am so grateful." Joan R.
