R.I.P. sweet boy.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On behalf of Mr. Jazz, my beloved angel cat who inspired Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day, I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who participated in the day this past August 28. It&#8217;s always bittersweet, as we wish we never had to say goodbye to any of our pets. But I&#8217;m always amazed and inspired by the overflowing of love and compassion shown on this day. My heart swells with gratitude for all the lovely memories we have of those pets we have loved and lost.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m always overwhelmed by how far-reaching this day has become, too. One such example this year was an event hosted by <a href=\"https:\/\/panow.com\/2023\/08\/28\/prince-albert-funeral-home-hosts-barbecue-and-fundraiser-on-rainbow-bridge-remembrance-day\/?fbclid=IwAR32kvEpM1GGYWdeMvvuOyxww_9SlUCAKc6amh-qv9TQxYbwSEKvPzVhuSw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gray\u2019s Funeral Chapel<\/a> in Prince Albert, Canada. They held a free community barbecue with all sorts of food and festivities, and in honor of the day, in remembrance of pets that had passed on, donations were also being collected for the <a href=\"https:\/\/princealbertspca.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince Albert SPCA<\/a>, for pets in need of forever homes. I love that the day can inspire giving and community camaraderie and I&#8217;m so proud that Jazz&#8217;s legacy has allowed that to happen.<\/p>\n<p>I also held a personalized pet memorial portrait giveaway in honor of the day, and I&#8217;m thrilled to announce the winners*. I will be reaching out to each of them with details as to how they will receive their prizes and I thank everyone who took the time to enter. I also thank Kevin from Pleasant Glen Products for graciously donating these portraits that will surely be cherished for many years to come. If you did not win but would like to connect with Kevin for a personalized portrait, please visit his Etsy Shop <a
