For over 14 years, he was the most fabulous companion for me, and a constant source of entertainment for all of us. He died as he lived: comfortably recumbent... May it be so for us all! Thanks be to God for all blessings! -Andy IMAGE: "Feles Major: the big cat". A usurping of the Big Dipper asterism to immortalize my friend "Gromit". Drawn several years ago.

Gromit must have given you many fond memories. Every time you look at the Big Dipper you will fondly think of him. God Bless.
