On the heels of the news of the tragic death of Paul Palika, husband of our own Liz Palika, came word that Dr. Nancy Kay's father passed away over the weekend. Dr. Kay, our hearts go out to you for your loss, and you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Dr. Becker, Gina and all of us here at Pet Connection are full of grief for Liz and Dr. Kay, and are taking a day of silence here at the blog to mourn their losses.
Although we won't be blogging, we know that both of them will be reading, so please continue to leave notes for them here if you wish.
Until Wednesday.

I'm so sorry, Dr. Kay. Several of us here have gone through the loss of a parent recently, myself included, and I know how difficult it is, even if not unexpected.
We are here to help in any way we can ... just ask.

To Liz, who has helped me beyond measure, long distance, to help me help my dog become comfortable in her black Lab skin; you are a friend and a colleague. I am so deeply sorry to hear of Paul's death.
To Dr. Kay, the loss of your father is felt across the miles, too.
Words are inadequate.
My deepest condolences.

The loss of any being who holds an importance place in our hearts is always a devastating experience. Husband, Father, Mother, child, pet...I don't think it makes a difference given our human capacity to experience love for another. I am so saddened by both Dr. Kay's and Liz's losses. I know my own pain from losses to death in my own life and how long a journey it seems to reach a place of equilibrium. I can only sympathize with yours, and can only send you love, strength and healing through my inadequate words.

What a sadness for you, Liz and Dr. Kay. I am so sorry and so wish for brighter days for you both.
