When we lost Whicky to the Bridge, we were devastated. Now his brother, Gerry, has gone on to be with Whicky and our hearts are breaking over this.
Just recently, we found this beautiful picture and are thinking how much like Gerry this kitty looks.
If the Bridge has perches bathed in moonlight, then Gerry is there.
We send our love and deepest condolences to a family that has shown over and over how much their cats are loved. Unfortunately, the greater the love, the deeper the loss, as we all know only too well.

At their blog, there is a wonderful tribute to a kitty whose time on this earth, like Tom's, was too painfully short. But, in that brief time, they give us a precious gift that we will carry in our hearts until we meet again.
This is my favorite of all the photos taken of Gerry, if we may. We wanted to include it in our own tribute today to a special cat and a special family.
All our love,
Mom Julie, Tinker, Anastasia and Angel Tom xx
We were very sad to see the news about dear Gerry. Such a handsome one with a all the love in the world wrapped up in his heart. Run free dear Gerry.
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard to lose these precious little beings. What an adorable photo of Gerry. May he rest in peace. Deb
ReplyDeleteWhat a great tribute to your pal. We're so sorry to hear the news and have gone over to their blog to leave condolences. Run free Gerry.
ReplyDeleteWe read with great sadness about the passage of Gerry. It is oh so hard to let them go, but the apes over at Everycat did so with the greatest love and compassion. We are sending lots of powerful thoughts of healing to them as we can easily understand their breaking and aching hearts. August was a very sad month for so many in the blogging community. We hope that September treats us all far kinder.

I didn't really know this family of kitty bloggers, but I read the sad story about Gerry and was so moved by the love he was given his whole life and the care he had in his last days.
ReplyDeleteWe went by Everycat's blog earlier today after learning of Gerry's passing. We are so sad for his family. Too many of our friends have been leaving and too many tears are being shed. But one blogger's loss is shared by all. :(
ReplyDeleteMy deepest condolences. Saying goodbye is never easy but may there be peace in knowing it is only for a short time.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to hear about your friend Gerry. Our thoughts are with his family...
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet tribute and post to the very special Gerry. We love both photographs you have posted here. We are extremely sad about Gerry's passing and send his wonderful, loving family our gentlest purrs.
ReplyDeleteBe Well Sweet Gerry
Never easy to say goodbye !
ReplyDeleteAnd many times, I am speakless and the tear just come down.
So sorry for your loss
Warm cuddle to you

We are sad to hear the news about Gerry too. We send comforting purrs and headbutts to his apes...we know how much they are missing him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful photo, and what a beautiful tribute to your friend Gerry. So much love they give us when they're here, and we love them with our whole hearts. I wish often that we could keep our feline wonders with us longer just by loving them, holding them close.. that we could make them all better. But that's not real, i know. Sweet, loving creatures who make our lives more loving and full of sweetness!
ReplyDeletewe didn't know them but we send you our most heartfelt sympathy and comforting purrs.
ReplyDeleteOh how sad! We didn't know them either, but really send lots of gentle hugs and purrs xx
ReplyDeleteWe have already been over to leave our condolences for Gerry's family. We also send you our purrs at the loss of your good friend.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it seems as though all the news we get in the Cat Blogosphere is of loss and sorrow. That's the news that touches us the most deeply. Yet there are cats finding new homes every day; the Blogosphere has many rescue-group bloggers, and they find homes for many wonderful animals. Individual bloggers adopt new cats. In sorrow too deep to fathom, it's difficult to remember the good in the world, but every cat who passes away leaves a legacy of love that will be shared with others, human and feline.
ReplyDeleteWe are so sad about our friend Gerry having to go to the Bridge. We have known his family since we began blogging. Fly free, sweet Gerry.
ReplyDeleteGosh how sad! We're purring for them all.
ReplyDeleteWe were so sad about Gerry going to the Bridge too but we're sure that he had many friends (including Whicky Wuudler) there who were waiting to greet him at the gate.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Thank you for your kind message to me and I'm pleased to say I am feeling much better than I was this morning. I have been stabbed again by the vet who means well but ouch!! I have started to eat small amounts again which Mum says is good as she didn't want me to over eat.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy
I am again so sorry that another dear friend has run off to the bridge. My heart is heavy.
ReplyDeleteWe wanted to say thanks for thinking of us! We actually have more Gotcha days coming up than we have shared because our person is L-A-Z-Y!! We hope things are fantastic with you - thank you again for stopping by!!
ReplyDeleteLove, the OK Cats (Zoe, Lazarus, and Tessa)
What a beauty. OK better go comment!

I've been unable to comment regularly and shocked to hear the news about Tom and now Gerry. I'm so, so sorry for your loss. They leave a huge legacy and were much loved. And I'm glad you're blogging again. It's a healing balm on the grieving journey.
ReplyDeleteI've been away from blogging for awhile now. So I'm just now seeing this about Gerry.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your loss of Gerry!
I know how much you loved Gerry! Run free..Gerry..Run free......
