In Loving Memory of Tinker Wall

Last night Tinker, the mouse, left this earth in spirit. She was Steven's beloved pet and friend.

She has been looking a bit old lately. It is strange how just yesterday I was just talking to Steven about how she is getting old and should be held only when he is sitting down. I also told him she will be going to heaven soon. As Steven was holding her as we talked he said, "I will remember Tinker forever even after she is in heaven." I offered to take some pictures of her and them together to help him remember her after she has passed on. He told me that would be nice. So all the pictures of Steven and Tinker were taken yesterday, on her day of passing.

When we discovered her lifeless body late last night, Rob made Tinker an oak casket and I prepared a scrap piece of pretty purple fabric to wrap her in.

This morning when I told Steven he told me he felt sad and he misses her. Then a few moments later he said, excitedly, we should take her to the doctor to bring her back. I told him she was very old and her body just wore out. She went to heaven late last night. There's nothing a doctor could do for her now. I thought he was going to cry. Then he said, we'll have to say a prayer for her. Then I almost cried.

Her grave side services will be held this morning after breakfast.
