Two years ago you can into our lives and your old home said that you were about 22 yrs old. You weren't in the best of health and I know that you hated your medication, but you still took it and you survived another 2 years!

You were perfect in Kendall's life. You taught him how to love you and how to have fun with you.

Knarly, you will truly be missed. Not just by Kendall, but by our whole family.

Fly free and carefree!! RIP Knarly and know that you were totally loved by all of us!

I'm so sorry Val...Knarly found the perfect life with you and Kendall and knew what it was like to be loved.

((((HUGS)))) for you and Kendall

Lend to You a Bird
"I will lend to you for awhile, a bird" God said.
For you to love him while he lives and to mourn for him when he is dead.
Maybe for twelve of fourteen years, or maybe two or three.
But will you, till 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 can not promise that he will stay, since all from earth return,
But there are lessons taught below I want this bird to learn.
I've looked the whole world over in search of teachers true,
And from the folks 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 lovely bird again.
I fancied that I heard them say,
For all the joys this bird will bring, the risk of grief you'll run.
Will you shelter him with tenderness?
Will you love him while you may?
And for the happiness you'll know, forever grateful stay?
But should I call him back much sooner than you've planned,
Please brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.
If, by your love, you've managed, my wishes to achieve,
In memory of him you've loved, be thankful, do not grieve.
Cherish every moment of your feathered charge.
He filled your home with songs of joy, the time he was alive.
Let not his passing take from you those memories to enjoy.
"I will lend to you, a Bird" God said, and teach you all you have to do.
And when I call him back to heaven, you will know he loved you too.

Oh Im so very sorry! Fly free Knarly.
