For a guy like me to say 'Thank You' has got to be the biggest understatement I could ever make to any of you Letterheads. I'm here at Jerry Mathels home visiting and using his computer, the excuse I made to visit was a followup in regards to his triple line pinstripe I did on his Jeep Cherokee along with some indian feathers this past sunday.

I have been totally overwhelmed by the generosity of the Letterheads over my loss which has taken a toll on me and I seem to be at a loss of words which even I find hard to believe.
I must thank everyone of you for bringing me back to life, sort to speak. My 'Gemo' doggie was the last of his family to pass on as his lady and son died in the past two years. He was a one man dog and I was his man, other persons could not touch him as he loved only me and after twelve years and several bitings and house arrests I feel empty since he is gone.

Please understand, it will a long time til I feel I am able to accept anymore responsibilities of anykind in regards to another relationship with any animal and though many persons here are animal lovers I hope they can respect my thoughts on this subject as I just need time.

Geez! when lightning strikes..............

Mark's right Joey. Things will get better. Hang in there and expect a miracle.

On the worse day of my life, just when I was convinced life was no longer worth living, I was given an idea. The idea turned into Letterville. It gave me a new reason to get up every morning and allows me to support my family again.

Your miracle is coming Joey. The trick is to recognize and act on it when it appears. Remember these days when things get better and pass it on.

Joey,
We don't know each other but I sure can feel your pain over your one-man buddy. My Golden Retriever died nine years ago and I never got over it. In fact, I still don't have another dog but one of these days......
Needless to say, I don't go to the shelter because I'd have 20 by now.
God bless you and take care.
