Keemani gave us a lifetime of love and happiness during his short time here on earth, he brought so much joy and warmth to everyone around and will forever survive in our hearts. His departure seemed much too soon, and we may never understand why God chose such a beautiful flower still in full bloom. Keemani was preceded in death by his paternal great-grandfather who now cuddles our beloved Keemani in heaven.

Forever in our hearts; our borrowed Angel.
