In Memoriam Missy and Rommel
In Memoriam of Missy and Rommel – Two Wonderful Family Members who are very Missed
Texas Animal Guardians would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Hennig for their very generous donation given in the memory of Missy and Rommel. It is evident that these two cats were very dear to the Hennigs. Honoring Missy and Rommel’s memory with a contribution is a wonderful way to provide healing, not only for their own loss but to help other kittens and cats with medical needs. The funds have already been set to good use providing nourishing milk formula for orphaned bottle-fed kittens. Cats and kittens suffering with various illnesses have also benefited by receiving veterinarian care and medications. In addition, this Memoriam gift will continue to pass-it-forward as these kittens and cats grow well enough to enter our adoption program. When adopted, they in turn will become beloved family members, thereby giving back again and again. In this way the Hennig’s gift will continue to give back to others — what a wonderful way to honor the memory of Missy and Rommel.
You Entered My Life
You entered my life quite unannounced. Your sudden presence rather surprised me. It’s not that you pounced upon me. No, not at all. You just came forward as if you had something important to impart to me.
You entwined yourself around my legs, looked up at my face and purred the most sumptuous purr I’d ever heard. In that moment I knew I couldn’t turn you away. I opened the door bidding you into my home, my heart, my life.
Oh what an astonishing thing happened to me! You ensconced yourself into my heart. I wouldn’t, I couldn’t think you’d ever depart. No, not on my part. I did not want to ever face that. But the sad fact is that all too soon you left.
It wasn’t your choice, you’d have stayed — I know you would — but sickness took you from this place. Now you are gone. The longing to see you again, to touch your face can sometimes be so strong. I must remind myself you are with me in my heart, that we are never far apart — that the reality is you are only a heartbeat away from me.

Many of the animals received into our adoption program need expensive medical care. Your tax deductible contribution helps pay for this. Won’t you please consider a small donation to help needy animals get well? This gives them a chance at adoption and a new life. Thank you in advance!
