Pet Tributes
I have had a few requests, for some people wanting to place a pet tribute. I have decided to give them this area to place a loving memory of their furry friends. I have placed one there for our dog Hushin to show people what it would look like. If you would like to place a tribute, please email a picture in jpeg format and a small tribute to centralfuneralhome@nf.aibn.com there is no charge for this service. Please contact me and let me know what you think.

A tribute to Chipper Wheeler
Chipper, I remember
the time I first met you, you were the runt of the family and were so small.
You were curled up by the wood stove in your first owners' home. I then knew that
you were the one. Chipper was the best dog and friend that you could ever ask
for. I thank you for all the unconditional love that you gave to our family. Chipper had exceeded our expectations through her longevity, and with her
illnesses. We were very fortunate to be your companion for 15 years. You were
such a special part of our lives, and we will never forget that. I cannot
believe that you are gone. You were a part of our life for such a long time I
cannot imagine what it will be like without you.
My heart just breaks for
her but I know she is in a better place. We didn't want her to suffer anymore
and the past few days were so hard, even before we knew and had to make the
decision. All I know is that it was one of the hardest things that I ever had to
do.
But we had to let her go, it would have been selfish to make her suffer
anymore. Our house is so quiet right now... But I know it will get easier and our
tears will turn into smiles with happy memories. Always thinking of you and
waiting until the day when we can be together again. I know that you are with
Poppy Wheeler watching over us and especially our son Alex. He loved you dearly.
We will cherish all the time we spent together. I know you are still with me and
our family in our hearts. You will always be with me baby girl and I will never
forget you and your beautiful spirit. Chipper was held tight in my arms during
her final moments with the words "I love you" being whispered in her ear over
and over again... long after she couldn't hear my words anymore. I know that she
is at Rainbow Bridge, pain free, running around, so very happy. I love you so
much and I will miss you forever Chipper. God speed my beautiful Chipper

HUSHIN
1990 - 2002

Hushin was born in January, 1990 in Northern Arm on piece of plywood for shelter. He was from a litter of 6 puppies, with a grand total of 9 dogs by an irresponsible owner. By the time the SPCA was notified, 4 of the puppies had frozen to death, they were able to retrieve 2 of the remaining puppies and 2 other dogs. The mother of the puppies was retrieved at a later date. I kept one of the puppies as it was only 2 days old and needed a lot of care. Most did not think it would survive, but he did, a carnation baby at that, and he considered me his mom. For twelve loving years he was with us. He did not know he was a dog, but considered himself one of us. The last few years of his life, Mike carried him up and down our stairs several times a day. When the time came to say goodbye, he looked at Mike knowing it was time to go, and licked him one last time. We cherished him, such a special friend. A tribute such as this keeps his memory close.
