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 still need a few days to recover and get back to a place where I can read--let alone respond--to this amazing outpouring of love. Many many thanks... I truly appreciate everything and treasure this community.

Aloha

I am so glad that you and Molly can comfort each other during this very difficult time. As others have said before me, Maui is in a happier place as she has lost all of her earthly discomforts. Still, it lives a big gaping hole in our hearts. God bless and hoping you find some comfort in the wonderful memories of good times with Maui.; ▶ Reply to This

Thank you so much for sharing Maui with all of us. Please know that your doing so has enriched many lives of humans and pets alike. Let the sorrow pass over you and know that the tincture of time will heal you.

I lost a yorkie 2 years ago and when I talk about him or look at his pictures, I still cry. Maui will always be a part of you.

With Heavy Heart,

Maui will be with you in that special place in your heart where she has always been. It will be hard to go through all those things that you both shared. The walks, talks, and everything else. As with all of us who have had to say good bye for now to the friends that gave us all they had without question time will help. May God bless and guide you at this time.

She has crossed the Rainbow Bridge and has her health, her sight, and is playing with all our dearly departed pets. Sincere condolences, Maria; ▶ Reply to This

Someone gave these to me when I lost my dog back in January. I hope it can ease your pain. Karen

Just remember now she is feeling fine, running and playing as when she was a lovely puppy; and that she wiil be waiting for you to be together again forever. Receive all my love. I'll be praying for you so you will start feeling better soon. Love, Isabel; ▶ Reply to This
