Thanks [MENTION=7260]Chumley[/MENTION], I will send you a PM if you'd like to send something along.

I appreciate everyone's well wishes...I hope it's a good way to promote the healing process (other than crying and feeling intermittently sad then angry then lonely!)AND do some good in the world in Linus' memory.

One more pic of Linus at his daddy's hockey game...he loved the rink, and chewing on hockey pucks!

Absolutely awesome! When my Mable died, I was so lost in pain and self pity, I couldn't have seen something like this! Shame on me! I will remember this lesson!

First, a big, giant, Linus-sized, thank you to everyone on the board for your kind words of comfort and support following the loss of Linus. I have read the memorial thread many times and have drawn strength from it over the last few days. I miss him so much.

Some of you may know that my husband and I are avid ice hockey players and run a weekly adult hockey skills class in our area. As a tribute to Linus, I decided to organize a skate that offers a discount to any skater that brings us food, blankets, towels, and toys to class AND we will be donating all profits as well to the Arizona Humane Society.

I wanted to start this thread to let everyone know how much I appreciate everything and to update it after the skate (which happens next Wednesday) to let you know how we do in Linus' memory. I hope we get a big haul to donate to homeless animals!

Here is the flyer I put together...Linus was a big lover of stinky hockey gear :)

Although the sadness is overwhelming at times, I hope I can do some good in Linus' name by giving back to needy animals and continuing to share what I learned from my time with him on EBN.

Thanks again for all the support!


You my dear are just incredible!!!!!!!! What an amazing idea and amazing way to honor sweet Linus. Kudos to you for turning this into something to benefit others. You are truly an angel. Fingers and paws crossed for a huge turn out

Such a wonderfully beautiful tribute to Linus. Yes, he would definitely be proud of him momma and how she's helping so many others right now. You're awesome, Jill!:hug:

God bless you, for turning your grief into something so awesome. Those we have loved never go away, they walk beside us everyday. Let time heal the pain, and love heal the heart. May you take comfort in knowing others care.
