Dear Doctor Harnett and friends at BEVS,

Thank you for your card expressing sympathy for our loss of Chester.  Chester is missed terribly; the loss of his loving manner and sweet face leaves an empty space in our hearts.  He was truly a sweet boy and we have many memories with him; hiking the 4000 Footers in NH, camping when he’d get in the tent first to steal the air mattress and swimming at Texas Falls.  What a wonderful companion he was to us.

Please accept our deepest appreciation for the excellent care that was given to Chester and compassion that was given to us through such a difficult time.  We will always know that we did all we could and made the only decision possible.  Your support helped us get through the process and knowing that Chester left with people who loved him gives us comfort when we struggle through the hard times.

Thank you so much!
