Jake Porter Tributes

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to
Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross
Rainbow Bridge together....

With true love comes pain and sadness. Nevertheless, the love is more plenty and powerful than any sadness you could ever have. It is so obvious you are the best parents that Jake could have. He was lucky to have your love. We all love you and support you. Live through it as Jake would want you to. Love Julie

Rachel and Jason,
I'm lighting this candle in memory of your big 'puppy' Jake. I am sure that Jake and Emma have met, otherwise how would we have connected...? Lots of love.

God bless his soul. I'm glad that you included him as your family member, even a wedding!

The world is a sadder place without you, dear Jake. You had to be about the most honest, and honorable dog I've ever met. ..and certainly one of the most loved. You were the the only dog Lady ever looked up to! She still stands and stares over at the old house hoping to catch a glimpse of her friend. You will be missed and remembered.
Gary and Linda
Rest well.

Rachel and Jay,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss of your dear puppy :( . I think only with time can we begin to heal the deep pain we feel when we lose our loved ones. Now no longer in pain, Jake is in a better place. May he rest in peace. Love, Sharon

I am very sorry for your loss. Jake was the best dog I have ever met. My Mom could never say enough about how great he was. Loyal, well behaved and protective of those he loved.

Sending good thoughts to you. (From another who has recently lost a pet to cancer).

Jake, We really miss you when we visit. We had such a good time when you took us for walks. You were our first granddog and will always have a very special place in our hearts. You were a wonderful Best Dog at the wedding! Hope you are getting all the treats you want. We will watch over Rachel and Jay for you.

Rachie and Jay,
Jake was such a wonderful "pupps". He was very lucky to have 2 very loving parents to care for him as he aged. That picture of him and Jenna back in Dec is priceless. Always great with the kids! Love, Robin

Jake....
I know in a way how you feel, my dog was killed at the sad age of 2.... he was hit tragically by a snowblower....
This memorial made me cry think of my beloved pup.... But Jake will always be with you, in Spirit, and memory.

Dont forget and he won't leave.....

RIP Bear, and Jake, and all of the other pets in the world who sadly left this world

I can never tell you how sorry I am for the loss of your Puppy, Jake. Today is the 2 year anniversary of the passing of my own Jake. He was the light of my life and my heart and soul. I understand the pain of loosing a special pup. May Jake run free with the wind and be in your hearts forever...

Jake will be in your heart forever. At least there will be no more pain for him and he's in a better place.

I recently had to put our baby down for the cancer that ravaged his body. I feel so much for you and I understand your grief. Surely,angels share their toys with our babies as we await our reunions. Nothing so dear, could ever be gone forever.

I know how you feel because I lost my dog Bear a few days before Christmas. I miss him so much. May we both have peace in knowing that we loved them so much.
