I received this from Troy Lynn Eckart
K-State Research and Extension
upon her hearing about Marcel's leaving us...

I thought it was a perfect

Memorial to Marcel...

Happenings at Rainbow Bridge

Ferrets impatiently hiding along the sides of the Rainbow Bridge.
The air is charged with excitement.
As Marcel starts to cross over
they all tingle with anticipation.
A few chortles
and the soft fluttering sounds
of tails gently wagging against the bridge
are heard.
Marcel is intrigued by the sounds
not knowing what awaits him.
Marcel stops,
eyes wide,
and listens
- but now all is silent.
As Marcel crosses over to the other side
there is an explosion of furry bodies all
dancing,
jumping,
rolling,
and playing,
drawing Marcel into their inner circle.
The love and joyfulness in their little hearts
envelops Marcel.
Soon all settles down
and the "oldsters" explain the waiting process to Marcel.
Marcel is ever so gently groomed by the others
to ease the pain of loss of living companions.
Marcel is consumed by their love.
They are all one big loving family
anxiously awaiting the next newcomer
and in the end,
their own humans.

Warm gentle hugs. tle

Thank You, Troy Lynn....

You have no idea how much this meant to me!

RAINBOW BRIDGE

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especally close to someone here,
that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends
so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine,
and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old
are restored to health and vigor;
those who were hurt or maimed
are made whole again.
The animals are happy and content,
except for one small thing;
they each miss someone very special to them,
who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together,
but the day comes
when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent;
his eager body begins to quiver.

Suddenly he begins to run from the group.
You have been spotted.
You meet and embrace in joyous reunion,
never to be parted again.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...
