Dear Haven/Dad

It has been a long 10 years without you. I miss you every day.
It is good to be here with Lenee and Keith. It makes the day a little easier.

Rusty is 12 years old now and quite ill.. You gave me the perfect companion and protector when we got Rusty. I don't know how I would have managed the past 10 years without him. Enjoy each other when he comes to see you again.

Miss you and love you with all my heart.

Stay safe in Gods love.

To My Dearest Haven,

I love you and miss you so much Haven. It has been a long 9 years without you. Wish you were sitting here by my side.

Thank you for finding Rusty for us. You knew when we got Rusty I would need him for my friend and protector and he has been just that - don't know what I would have done without him all these long years without you. He's getting old now with health problems so please watch over him. Take good care of him and keep him safe just like you did for me so many years.

The world is in a scary place right now so please take good care of everyone and keep them safe.

Stay safe in Gods love.
