[Sammy glances at the rising sun and
nods. It is time. He is wearing an amber necklace with a small
pendant of a winged green garden snake. He climbs the dais and
reaches the podium as the sun touches above the horizon to shine softly.
Guests and others who have lost loved ones, fall silent.]
Good morning, sirs and ma’am’s, and a special thank you to the
residents of this wonderful place.
Each October, at sundown of the evening of the final full moon and
through the night, we gather to pay tribute to our dear ones who have
passed on. As the sun rises, we bid another farewell and return to our
homes and families.
Much richer for having known and loved, much better for the lessons
learned, we smile despite our grief.
As always, the first name called represents those whose names we did
not know, those lost or tossed, taken through illness or abuse or
nature's fury.
We stand in silent thought, and send our hopes that they have found
peace and love at last.
[There is a short pause, then light of the new day spills in on them
all. Beside her, kitties echo her words in ASL-C/D]

Purrfessor Jack listens and asks Luko what this all is?
Luko fills him in. He listens and wonders. So many Chez Shenks
4foots are mythical now, that all he knows is he can't even try
to be like any of them. He ponders.
Luko nods. I think, wez just be ourselves? Youz are very scolarly
anna Cash wuz a country gentleman but youz bof likes bow ties. Youz
not just know ASL C/D standard, yuz knows all da local languages!
Purrfessor Jack nods, ponders a little then decides, he'd like a
little parti at home?
Mr Purrfessor, I agree wif Luko. We can't hope to walk in the
pawprints of doze who came before us. We can just be us, and support
our famblies da bestest we can.
If you'z wants a parti, I'z purrty sure dat Sammy Redcat Brofer still
has lots of goodies in da FluffyKitz warehouse and would be glad to
bring dem. An when I'z not tootoo buzy taking care of mine hoomin Paw
