I apologize for the tardiness of my post but I have been away and just 
recently caught up on the posts. I would like to extend my deepest condolences to 
Holly's mother for the loss of her little girl. Each of us thinks of our little 
guys and girls as special in a certain way. With George, it's just the way he 
looks at me when is resting his head against my chest. To most, there is 
nothing "special" about that. HOLLY, now here was a little girl that was special in 
ways we ALL could see from reading her mothers loving tribute. And though NO 
loss can ever be as great as your own, the passing of HOLLY approaches that 
level in all of us I am sure. As I sit here and place my thoughts to this post, 
I cannot say I wish my boy would do those things because I would trade every 
one of them for just another day with him as I KNOW HOLLY's mother would have. 
What I do wish is for her mother to find some solace in the fact she gave 
HOLLY every bit of love she had to give and every chance she could to help her 
live. For her to have fought for the time she did speaks well of her mother and 
the love she felt from her. A love that was evidenced in her desire to live and 
the fight she put up to stay with her mom. But sometimes, and it IS my 
greatest fear, a mother or/and father have to say thank you my precious little one 
for every smile you have given me over he years and for every star that you 
have placed in the night sky that this day darkens my heart. Now rest and pass 
with our love and our promise to once again unite on the other side of the 
bridge. Your fight has been valiant and you deserve the rest for although there are 
few things you can take with you, you take this day our love and a part of 
our heart that will never be replaced. So once again, I offer my sympathy to her 
mother and father for the loss of a very special piggy named HOLLY, may God 
keep her under his wing and may she never forget she was loved and known by so 
many.


Sincerely,

Joseph C. Petrillo, George the guinea pigs father
