Hi Gina,

I do love Wendy. I walked into the front room last night and for a split second thought my best friend was back with me. She looks so real. I put her pink dress on her. It's way too big, so I have to figure out how to make it a bit smaller. I kind of have it pinned for now. Right now Wendy is on my bed. Everytime I walk in the room I think she is there waiting to cuddle with me for the night. Thank you for packing her so carefully and sending her wrapped up and with a little travelling companion.
I love my Wendy. Thank you so much, Gina.

Hi Gina,

Oreo and I had a nice ride home. She sat on my lap all the way home and I could pet her and stroke her at stop signs and lights. Right now she is with me as I type. She always jumped up on the desk where my computer is when I was using it and would lay on the printer tray or get in front of the keyboard, so it seems right to have her with me as I write this.

She is lovely....just as she was in life. I have hugged her and kissed her over and over again. I am going to put the other collar on her as it is a larger one. I just think it will be more comfortable. Plus it's purple...........my favorite color. Her candle is burning and I took a picture of her right next to it.

Thank you so much for being so compassionate regarding my emotions. It's just a natural part of the grieving process. Oreo's passing is a huge loss to me. I am doing much better, but each phase brings it right back to the moment I had to let her go. I think now the circle of life is complete, and she is home with me.

Thank you so much, Barb, Fulton, NY

Hey Gina!

I wanted to let you know that i lit the candle and prayed for Marty and our new beginnings.. I am sending you some pics.. My old roomates dog, DeeOGee, he used to cuddle with Marty all the time, when my roommate moved out, Deeogee got really depressed cause he lost Marty, then me... he got so depressed that she one day, not to long after Marty passed, called me up to see if I would take Deeogee! He saved me, and I saved him.. we saved each other. Well, when I received Marty, I put his ole collar on him, and put his ashes in him. DeeOGee cuddled with him right away, as he did with Marty. So, I am sending you pics of Deeogee with Marty as well :) Thank you soo much, we both find comfort in having Marty here with us. :) Hope you like the pics! :)

Hi Gina,

Remember me, Kathy Fitch from Newton, Ks.? You made my cuddly urn for Louie, our Bassett a couple yrs. ago. Louie fought a courageous, long illness of lymphoma cancer for 1 and 1/2 yrs. Our loving God called to Louie this last May 26, 2011, Thurs. at 2:40 p.m. He went peacefully from my loving arms to Jesus' loving arms..As I held Louie, along with his 2 favorite ‘LOUIE PALS’’, a bear that we called ‘’Bear-Bear’’, and lamb, we called ‘’Wooly’’, I told Louie “It’s ok, son, go to Jesus..I love you, we have each other’s hearts and eternal love. I will look up to the night sky and ask Jesus to twinkle, so I know HE is holding you, while I am blowing kisses & sending Mommy Hugs to you." I hugged Louie in my every day way, so he would know what I was telling him was coming from my heart and he relaxed then in my arms and went bravely to his Jesus. I had been telling Louie every night about living and dying..that even I, too, will go to heaven. Louie had just had his 10th birthday..on May 9, 2011. Thank you,Gina, for you give from your heart & all your efforts and care with his cuddly urn. I know Louie & I will be in heaven soon..forever...God’s blessings to you and all who help us grieve a little bit easier.

Love,
Louie's Mom, Kathy Fitch

Dear Gina,

Thank you so much for the wonderful job you did in recreating my precious Mini. She is giving me all the comfort that you promised. Although I can't have her in person, I talk to her and sleep with her. Recently, several of my friends have admired this way of preserving their cherished pet. Again, many thanks for helping relieve the pain and sorrow from the loss of my beloved dog.

Sincerely, Shirley Spector

Hi there Gina,

Thank you for continuing to consult me and involve me in the whole process to make sure she is as close as possible to the real life Misty. I appreciate your time, patience and understanding more than words can convey! Very excited that this is the very last tweak before she will be on her way home! And thank you so much for organizing a friend to travel with her and a candle for me to light to mark the start of her new beginning! The care and compassion you take in your work is incredible and a very rare quality in the world these days, so I appreciate it all the more!! I hope you don't mind...I have recommended you to friends and family over here should they decide to go down the path I did and get a custom cuddly urn. You have truly been an amazing person to deal with and I couldn't be happier! It has made the whole process a lot easier and I've felt very comforted the whole way through.

Thank you again and kind regards,
Terri in Australia

Hi Gina.....

I just want to thank you again soooooooooooooo much for the adorable new "Freda"! Mom and I really do love her and we are just amazed at how lifelike she is. You really are very talented!! We can't wait to get her back in our arms and thank you for taking such good care of her for us. :-)

I took these pictures last night of Mom and Freda. As you can see, she LOVES her! She is actually covering her up in the bed, etc. I just can't thank you enough. I am going to make copies of your article and spread the word about your wonderful service!! Please take care of yourself.

   Take care of yourself!!

Dear Gina,

OH MY GOSH SHE IS BEAUTIFUL!! You did a great job! I don't know how you
do it! You are talented. She is beautiful and perfect! Trevor loves her too! Thank
you so much. Next month I will order one of Tinkerbell for Trevor and just because
it is awesome. Thanks again!

Xoxo, Laurie

Gina,

Everything went amazingly well with Wookie! I stopped at my mom and dad's first- and we lit a candle there too because she spent three days a week there while I was working. We were all just in shock at how great she looks. At one point I had her sitting between my mom and dad on the couch- and we snapped a picture with my husband's phone- and it was uncanny. I was in utter amazement. I truly think Wookie wanted me to know she was there in that picture. I attached a couple I took.

As I hugged her- I know it sounds crazy-- but-- I could just feel her! I knew it was her. As soon as we got to my own house- I just sat on the bed with her- and kissed her, hugged her, and cried for an hour because it felt so good to have her home. I can never thank you enough for what you did for me, for your attention to detail- and it was the best surprise in the world when you went out of your way to bring her to me early!

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. I will get you a picture of her and I together- at home- and maybe with a picture of her in life in my hand so that people on your website can see the amazing work that you do! I am sure that Mugsy is so proud of the work that you do.

Respectfully,
Val

Hi Gina:

I am writing via e-mail to say that I am so pleased with my cuddly pet "urn". I think you must have truly been blessed when you got this idea after your dog passed on. Your feelings of severe loss remind me of just how I feel. Even the part about not wanting our pets to feel cold! Are we crazy?!! This idea you had was a blessing for me as well as yourself and I'm sure many others.

It is so much better to have my dog's ashes in a soft, cuddly "urn" instead of one that you would leave on a shelf at a distance. Before I received my created animal I would carry his can of ashes downstairs and keep it on the table next to the chair where I sit. Now He lies next to me on the couch and when I go to work he will lie on my bed next to his favorite stuffed animals. Your creation came out so natural the way the body just lies, it looks incredibly realistic.

I know my baby dog is in a better place now, but I also thinks he comes and visits once in a while. I know he'll always be in my heart until we are together again. Thank you for this wonderful idea which is the perfect final resting place for my beloved dog.

Gina,

Thanks for your time, effort and caring. You have a HUGE heart and a great gift. Having this as an option for Onyx, instead of an impersonal box has made me feel so much better. Best of luck to you in your business and thanks you for helping us heal.

HUGS, Joanne & Onyx!!!

Gina,

Heidi is HOME! I have already unpacked her and her friend and their blanket and lit the candle!Heidi was my 2nd Aire, my 1st rescue and she was such a special girl. (I know they all are). She got me through 2 deaths, a divorce and marriage. She was my constant companion and my snuggle bunny. When she crossed the rainbow bridge I had her cremated - but I just couldn't stand the thought of not being able to cuddle her one more time. I found the most amazing woman on line - she makes pet replicas so you can put their ashes in the stuffed animal. She calls them "cuddly urns". I chatted with her on line and she really "got it". I sent her a ton of pictures of Heidi - and she did an amazing job with her coloring, the saddle, her face - it's just wonderful. She sent Heidi back wrapped in a blankie and with a little stuffed animal friend to keep her company. I can't say enough about this wonderful woman (Gina) who made the stuffed Heidi (I call the stuffed Heidi H2) and the great replicas she makes. I am NOT being paid to say any of this - I just thought that some of you might want to check her out!

Hi Gina,

We love Bubba -he is at work with me today! A co-worker is going to touch base with you soon! Your work is great and we just can't say enough to you!

Thank you!!!!! Talk to you soon! Kristin

Hi Gina,

We both LOVE Riley. He's perfect! Thank you so much. We really really appreciate it. We're very happy to have him! Send me some information on your business; I'd be happy to pass it along to friends and family. It's a great thing you do for people and the pets they love so much!

Thank you again, Sarah

Dear Gina:

Thank you so much for creating a replica of my beloved, Mitzi. I talk to her all day long, and it gives me comfort that she is looking back at me. You are a genius for developing this idea. I believe you must know how much we miss our pets when they die. It was difficult for me to sleep after Mitzi's death. Now, I can sleep better with her looking at me.

Thank you Gina.

Gina,

I don?t know the words to express how my wife and I feel. I know this much ? You are sure going to get a lot of business off of me. Close friends have lost pets over the past year and will be contacting you.

Thank you so much, Gina.

Hi Gina, We did have a wonderful Christmas and I wish the same to you for a successful New Year. My wife loved Rudy as you can see by the attached photo. She said it was one of the best presents she has ever had (Rudy himself was also an Xmas present many years ago) Thank you so much for doing it and I will pass on your name to anyone else who may be in the same situation.

Thanks again. Bob

Gina:

We all had a very nice holiday season. We now call the keeper of Skyler's ashes "Keeper" and we trust her completely with being just that. Thank you so much and we hope that you had a wonderful holiday also.

Pat

Gina,

We love him! My husband thinks he looks just like him and I will say,
when I walk into the room he's in- I have to do a double take! Thank
you so very much! He is truly a gift!

Best Wishes,
Taylor

Hello Gina:

I am putting into words to let you know how wonderful my heart felt when I could hold my sweet Tangie again. I missed her so much and then all of a sudden I meet with you and she is back. Words can not express our gratitude for everything you have done for us. I dream of Tangie often and now I can sleep with her just as I always did. I lit the candle for her new beginning last night and we also thanked God for you without your special gift and heartfelt attitude toward our special friends we would have a void in our hearts forever. I feel as though thank you is not enough but I wanted to let you know you are a wonderful person and I hope you continue to do this because you will definitely fulfill someone's heart the same way you did for me.

With gratitude,
Tammie Trapnell and Tangie too

Dear Gina,

No words can express my thoughtfulness for this wonderful keepsake for my dad. I was very impressed with your creativity in capturing "Sparky's" likeness, he's awesome. I was also impressed with your personal care in packaging "Sparky" for his arrival. Wrapping "Sparky" in a blanket to keep him safe and warm, certainly expressed how much you truly care for our loved one. Once again, thank you for your excellent job.

Sincerely,
Shirely Valletta

Dear Gina –

We met for the first time on 8/25/09. I believe God put you in my path, because 48 hours earlier we lost our beloved Pomeranian “Chance” of kidney failure. Chance was 16 years old and he lived with us for 13 years. We started talking and through our tears, I told you about our loss. We are so grateful to you and the service you give. Now we have our beloved Chance home with us again in the cuddly urn. He is with us all the time and he went to NH when we went to visit our son and family. We will always remember your kindness and love. Thank you, Gina.

Sincerely Don & Angie McClory

Dear Gina,

Words can not express how grateful I am for your services. I was heartbroken when I lost my dog, and your kind, compassionate nature helped me through a very difficult time. Thanks to you, I am now able to keep my beloved dog close to my heart.

Dear Gina,

     On July 28 2008, I had to have heart surgery. One of my aides was telling me about your service and asked if I would be interested in having my cat Scooter's ashes put into a stuffed animal that looked like him. I thought it sounded very interesting. That next day when she gave me Scooter back and I snuggled with him, I never expected to feel so much joy. I am so happy you are turning this into a business. I want to say thank you again. I believe if it wasn't for you putting Scooter into his new urn, I don't think that I would have made such a speedy recovery.

Best Regards & Good Luck, Mrs. Emma Flores

Dear Gina,

     Hi my name is Tammie. A friend of mine, Lisa called me the day after our dog Rosco had gotten outside and been hit by a car. I am married with two children: Tommy & Michael. My husband and I were in disbelief and we weren't sure how to tell our children that Rosco had died. The boys where taking Rosco's death very hard. All the boys did was ask when Rosco was coming home and why Rosco can't sleep with them. We decided to have Rosco put into one of your urns. When Lisa had given us Rosco back in your urn, my husband and I could not believe the difference in our boys. The boys had slept with Rosco the first night and we were amazed at how quickly the boys bounced back. It has also helped my husband and I. We all thank you very much for bringing Rosco back into our lives, and the boys still sleep with him every night.

Sincerely, The Dunlap Family.

Hi Gina,

     I would like to say that this service that you are doing is wonderful. I had my beloved cat, Norman put into one of your urns and it is the best thing that I have ever done. Now I take him everywhere I go. What a wonderful idea.

Thank you and Good Luck, Julie

Gina,

You were wonderful to work with and so patient as I picked out "Bootsie". When I gave "Bootsie" to Shawn, he was very surprised and pleased. At the moment, Bootsie is in my bedroom as Shawn is in the process of moving to California. So, some time soon, Bootsie will be a California cat!

Thanks Gina! Margaret DeLeo
