Oh Darryl - I am so sorry - we will miss our Stempy boy. What a sweet spirit he had; I believe he took after you. God bless you in your time of grief; may your memories of your time comfort you. Love you! Ellen
Darryl, my beloved friend - my heart goes out to you. I KNOW how much you loved that sweet soul. Remember the good times and treasure the love you two shared. I am here for you and Kay. Many blessings - love you! Stephanie
Dearest one, I hope you know how much my heart is with you and Kay and your two other loved furry ones. That angel has left a mark that can never be erased. May the memories of his love for you stay fresh in your heart forever. Much love, Marilyn
I didn't know about Stempy until yesterday. I know how much you loved him and were not ready for him to go to the Rainbow Bridge. I found this poem, and am sending it to you in his memory. May it help you as you grieve his loss.

Lend A Pup
I will lend to you for a while, a pup, God said, For you to love him while he lives and mourn for him when he's dead. Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three But will you, 'til I call him back, take care of him for me. He'll bring his charms to gladden you and (should his stay be brief) you'll always have his memories as solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true And from the folk that crowd life's land I have chosen you. Now will you give him all your love nor think the labor vain, Nor hate me when I come to take my Pup back again.
I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will be Done," For all the joys this Pup will bring, the risk of grief we'll run. We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay
But should you call him back much sooner than we've planned, We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand. If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve In memory of him we loved, to help us while we grieve.
When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife, We'll have yet another Pup and love him all his life.

I will lend to you for a while, a pup, God said,
For you to love him while he lives and mourn for him when he's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years, or maybe two or three
But will you, 'til I call him back, take care of him for me.
He'll bring his charms to gladden you and (should his stay be brief)
you'll always have his memories as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return
But there are lessons taught below I want this pup to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true
And from the folk that crowd life's land I have chosen you.
Now will you give him all your love nor think the labor vain,
Nor hate me when I come to take my Pup back again.
I fancied that I heard them say "Dear Lord Thy Will be Done,"
For all the joys this Pup will bring, the risk of grief we'll run.
We'll shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may
And for the happiness we've known forever grateful stay
But should you call him back much sooner than we've planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes, and try to understand.
If, by our love, we've managed, your wishes to achieve
In memory of him we loved, to help us while we grieve.
When our faithful bundle departs this world of strife,
We'll have yet another Pup and love him all his life.
