Coffee died on Monday, December 20th, 2010 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in the arms of my mother.
He died from pneumonia and old age. He was almost 10 years 3 months old.
It crushed my heart to lose Coffee to pneumonia and old age.
It crushed me that I was not able to be by his side for the last hours of his life.
It crushed me that he is no longer in my life...I am always expecting to hear him around the house...
I love you Coffee and will miss you forever!!!
You will always be part of the family and always be part of my heart.
Though you are gone now and will miss the wedding, you will be part of the wedding as we had planned from the start.
Take care, be safe, be happy and be well fed my little baby boy!
We all miss you and love you lots!!!
