In Loving Memory of Socks  

Socks found our family as a tiny kitten and gave us nearly 21 beautiful years of love. He earned his name from the white markings on his paws—but to us, he was always our Mr. Handsome.

Through every season of life, Socks was there. Whether we were sick, sad, or simply in need of comfort, he’d be curled up beside us, offering warmth, quiet strength, and unconditional love. His favorite pastime was sunbathing on the screened-in porch, watching birds and chatting with his best friend Blinken—the outdoor cat who became his buddy, even if most of their friendship was through the screen.

We miss him more than words can say, and we know there will never be another cat quite like him. He’ll always be our handsome boy, and always part of our hearts.
