In Loving Memory of

Nahjee Mapel

We had the absolute pleasure of adopting Nahjee exactly two years ago. He was the biggest, most beautiful boy we had ever seen and it was definitely love at first site. We spent every second giving him the love and the life he so deserved. And in return, he gave us more love than we’ve ever known. Not a day passed that we didn’t reflect on how lucky we were to be given such a wonderful and magnificent gift.

He passed away and out of our lives very suddenly and unexpectedly on Wednesday, March 29, 2006. He died in our arms of a heart arrhythmia we didn’t know he had. In fact, he was at the vet just two months prior and was announced to be in perfect health. But as painful as this day was for us, he felt no pain. In fact, he was playing with us in the yard just moments before and simply slipped into a peaceful rest. We still struggle with why Nahjee had to be taken from us, and we probably always will, but we find peace in knowing there is a whole lot more love in Heaven now that he has arrived.

And though his life was much too short, he has forever touched our lives and will forever be in our hearts. Rest in peace our sweet, beautiful boy and we will see you one day where we will cross the rainbow bridge together as a family.
