Pet Tribute

With such beauty and grace, there will never be another like you, our sweet girl, Ravyn. From a young pup, growing up yourself alongside the kids-their very special friend and part of our family for 16 earthly years but you will always be with us.  We are not the same without you in our lives,

Lucy “Lucille” Gabor Lucy was born on March 18th, 2003 in Heber City, Utah.  I always knew that a dog needed to be a part of my new family and God put Lucy in our path.  From the moment we first met Lucy, our lives have been filled with love, laughter, exercise, companionship, and peace.

Sweet Stella, my angel girl, thank you for 13 beautiful years together. You were my constant companion and my very best friend.  Life feels empty without you and I miss you every second of every day.

Lucile was born with an awful heart condition. Shortly before she was 2, the doctors said she would be lucky to live past 2. At 9, she died. For 7 years my wife and I made sure that she got her medication and appreciation. No vacations – no assumptions. We knew that we had to
