PEOPLE'S STORIES
Hear from Families Who Found Comfort
Genuine reflections from pet parents who have shared their memories and found solace through our Rainbow Bridge community. These heartfelt tributes honor their beloved companions.
Losing Chico has left a deep ache in our hearts — he was more than a pet; he was family, a constant source of love, joy, and companionship. It means a great deal to know that Newflands was part of Chico’s journey and wellbeing. Your support over the years has been invaluable, and I’m grateful for the role you played in helping me give Chico the best life possible.
I would be honoured to have Chico remembered on your Rainbow Bridge page.
Thank you again for your heartfelt sympathy and for creating such a warm and supportive community. If needed, I know where to turn.
With gratitude and warmest regards,
Bevan and Maureen Clement
