Maui has passed on...

It is with a heavy heart that I
am writing to let you know that
Maui passed away today.

I thank you and everyone in our
community who has kept us in
your thoughts and prayers these
past few days.

I know that Maui was a little
part of a lot of people's lives.

I am going to disconnect from email
for a few days, but if you would
like to send your condolences or
words of support, please post a
comment below.

Please know that I will read all
of your kind messages when I
re-emerge sometime next week.

Again, many thanks for your
support and prayers this past week.
Molly and I (and most importantly,
Maui) felt them. Thank you from
the bottom of my heart.

Aloha,

James Jacobson

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I know that Maui was such an important part of your lives, and this will leave a hole. But I know that she will be watching over you, and I know, from experience, that when the time comes, she will lead you to a new member of your family. He or she will never replace Maui in your hearts, nor should it, but you will find a new part of your heart open up, and the hurt will gradually go away. My prayers are with you both.

Love,
Annie; ▶ Reply to This

Though the earth heaves a great sigh of sadness over the passing of Maui, the angels in heaven sing joyfully for she has joined their chorus. Blessed are we to have had her cross our paths; joyous are we to have known her beautiful soul.
God Bless you and yours. I'm sending you many hugs.
Regards,

I once wrote an E-Mail batch to nearly all those I know that a dog will never hurt or harm you and only brings you pleasure, that's why it tears you heart out when you have to say goodbye to the dearest friend you had. I cannot live without a dog and I´m sure you can´t so I´ve shed many a tear in my life and can feel very deeply for you at this point in time.

I think the most important thing I can say to you at the moment is: Incredible but true. I one day realized that my Chico is made up of a part of all the dogs I had throughout my life. They are all living again with me, through him. Everyone who knows Chico loves him, (even other dog owners). They say "how well behaved he is" or "what a wonderful character".

I believe in a spiritual world and therefore it does not surprise me that the spirits of my past dogs are now alive in Chico. God Bless Maui, he will take good care of her and make sure she returns to her beloved friend in, (perhaps), another shape.

Our thoughts are with you all. Kindest, David & Chico; ▶ Reply to This

I pray that Maui is happy beyond the bridge even though a piece of her will always be in your hearts. Monique; ▶ Reply to This

Please know that I am thinking of you and understanding you intense sense of grief at the passing of your little "Maui".
Maui has joined the happy and healthy fur angels at "Rainbow Bridge" and she lives on to meet and great you again, on another very special day.
We all have angels living their and what a wonderful day that will be when we all meet again.
"Maui" was and will always be with you in spirit and love.

I try hard not to think about ever loosing Puff, as she will be 13 in November. God blessed you with Maui, just as God blessed me with Puff. May your heart heal quickly, with all of the loving memories you have shared together.
