POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I am so, so heartbroken to share that my Dad passed away on April 18. Words can’t describe the emptiness and sadness that I feel, especially being in the house that I grew up in without him. We bonded over our love of music, always singing and dancing, he loved to just sit back and enjoy his playlists, which have the most eclectic collection of songs - from his favorites The Carpenters, to ABBA, to The Beach Boys and everything in between.

He loved the simple things in life, appreciated the beauty of nature, sitting outside on a nice Summer day with his playlist on in the background. Sitting on the front porch with a cup of coffee, talking on the phone. He loved food, whether cooking or eating - don’t make him pick a favorite between a Big Mac and a Whopper.

I’ll miss your phone calls and voicemails, your dad jokes, sitting around the kitchen table reading “the list” and laughing for hours. Simple things like sitting at the table to talk while sharing a cup of coffee. I’ll miss your hugs, your laugh, your undeniable presence and so much more. I can’t believe you’re gone 💔

I love you Dad. Don’t make me sing! ❤️

My dad’s services will be held on Wednesday, April 24, 2024 from 3-7 pm and Thursday, April 25, 2024 from 9:30 -10:30 am at Gower Funeral Home, 1426 Route 209, Gilbert, PA.

His mass will be held 11 am, Thursday, April 25, 2024 at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church in Gilbert, PA. by @lamusicnerd

SEBASTIAN FOREVER ❤️ We lost our sweet, gentle, best friend Sebastian on June 7. These last few weeks have been unbelievably difficult as we try to process the immense loss of our little guy. This still doesn’t feel real. Our hearts are broken and forever changed.

Sebastian was our world. We did everything we could to give him the best life ever. He was the best little travel buddy - he’s been to the mountains, the beach, the desert, coast to coast - even Dodger Stadium - too many to count.

I’m grateful for the 13 years he was by our side, all of the kisses, all of the cuddles, the truest most unconditional love.

There are no amount of words that can sum up how much he meant to us and how much we miss him. The house is so empty and quiet without you Seb 💔

Thank you for everything Seb ❤️ Until we meet again our best friend 🕊️ by @lamusicnerd

Welcome home, Indy! 💛
After many difficult and painful months of mourning Sebastian, we decided it was time to open our hearts to another dog who needed a home.
We rescued Indy (formerly “Musso”) from a rescue group in the Valley. He is a Pomeranian-Chihuahua mix, known as a “pomchi.” 🖤
When we got him he had just been neutered, still had stitches and was wearing a cone. He had fleas and tapeworms and his spine was protruding from his back, but we could tell he was a very gentle dog who had a lot of love to give. It was clear someone treated him with care but neglected his health needs. We are his 4th home including the temporary foster home and he’s only 1 year old!
We took him to our vet and got him a checkup, got him on flea/tick/heartworm meds and he got a clean bill of health!
We’ve gotten him groomed a few times and gave him a haircut to trim all that fluff!
We’ve had him about 6 weeks and he is settling in so well! 😊🥰 taken in Burbank, California by @lamusicnerd
