They know more---not less---about our core. We have the names of many pets in our past; they will never be replaced and they will never be forgotten. But they (Mollys or Amandas) were important to us because they reminded us what mattered, and helped us forget what didn't matter. Those lessons we carry with us forever, and we can always say that they did their jobs well. Grandpa took to saying "That'll do, pig" (...and I have to pause now to cry...), let us bless Maya in that same spirit. God bless you Joanna, goodbye Maya. your brother who will always see you as Maya did. You will always be the person Maya knew you were. They know more—not less—about our core.

God bless you Joanna, goodbye Maya.

I'm so sorry. Grandpa's answer about burying a dog was, "They are buried in the heart of the owner." Love, Aunt Susie Oh Joanna, It must be so hard to not have her anymore. I’m so sorry.
