Dearest Gonzaga,
Thinking of you my friend with LOTS of love on this, the five year anniversary of your eternal flight to Heaven. I went to Petco the other day to visit the "keets" in your honor. In fact, every time I see a beautiful bird I think of you, as I know you SO loved your feathered friends. I was recently reminiscing with my mom about the time you and I were in anatomy class, and we found that precious little injured baby bird in the school parking lot. It's no wonder you ALWAYS had such a special affinity to God's creatures with wings, as you were (and always will be) an Angel among us!
I KNOW this to be true after I felt your presence (on more than one occasion) as I sat by my son's bedside (in the intensive care unit) for an entire month in a New Jersey hospital during his life threatening illness last November. I KNOW you were there for us during the MOST difficult time of our lives; loving us and protecting us with your big, beautiful, caring wings, and for that I am ETERNALLY grateful!
Although life is TOUGH at times, and I MISS YOU with ALL my heart, I am ALWAYS comforted by the BLESSING of our friendship. May the beautiful, funny, and amazing memories of our time together here on earth continue to nourish my spirit, and fill my heart with MUCH peace and love UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!
With Love & Blessings,
Christine Lewman - Littleton, Colorado
