Our "little man in a fur coat", Franklin, passed away on Sunday, March 4, 2012 at home surrounded by his family.

On Monday morning we called our vet who recommended we contact the Cape Coral Pet Crematory for what to do next.

We were so comforted over the phone by the kindness of this stranger we spoke to J.W. regarding what to do about our unfortunate circumstance.

Upon meeting, we were then comforted even more by perfect strangers (J.W. and his wife Peaches) who helped us to grieve and mourn our loss of a member of our family for the past 15 years.

Sometimes the kindness of strangers does wonders. They were extremely supportive and flexible to work with. In fact, when shopping at Publix we ran into J.W. and he came right up to me and gave me a great big hug and acknowledged me.

Instead of grieving, we have chosen to celebrate the loss of our beloved pet. He will live on in our hearts forever and we will always remember the kindness of strangers at the Cape Coral Pet Crematory.
