In Memoriam: Tyson

By Mavis Norman published on August 27th, 2026
"Saying goodbye was one of the hardest days for our family. Having at home made the experience easier on us. It was very peaceful and we appreciated the sincerity."
We had 8 of the best years with Tyson. He was such a lover and cuddler. Tyson had the funniest personality, which ended up with him having many nicknames!! He loved playing with his brothers, running on the beach, going to the cabin, chasing squirrels and getting “cabin treats”. He always had to sleep on top of our heads @ night keeping a paw on us! Saying goodbye was one of the hardest days for… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Paczki

By Janina Valenza published on August 17th, 2026
"Paczki’s passing was incredibly sudden and shocking after what we thought would be a routine veterinary visit clinic. The grief has been enormous and has taken some time to absorb. A couple days later, we decided…"
She was the gatekeeper of the home — charging belly rubs as admission. The hostess with the mostest — ALL were welcomed to her toys and treats. When it was time to leave, she showed you the door with 1 parting reminder — another belly rub couldn’t hurt your chances of being welcomed back. 12 years of bedtime kisses for Patrick, HER Person. Snuggles that led to hogging Janina’s side of the bed — she… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Monster

By Sarah, Brad and Avery Ruch published on August 10th, 2026
"Heaven at home was recommended to me by a friend. It was as Beautiful of an experience can be when having to make the best but HARDEST decision ever for your fur baby! Monster deserved to…"
We got Monster in May of 2011. He was named when we got him. He was absolutely NOT A MONSTER! Funny story, we were at the dog park and I was calling out for him "Monster, Monster!!" as it was time to go. I didn't realize until noticing people looking at me oddly that ohhhh there's no MONSTER, its his name. Hardest thing ever to lose a fur baby of 15 years. His health was… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Kingsley

By Beth Schilling published on July 28th, 2026
"Heaven at Home has been absolutely fantastic - from my conversations with Paula to having Dr. Brush come to our home and take care of our "King". Dr. Brush was compassionate, asked many questions about Kingsley…"
Kingsley came to be ours in December of 2015 as a little niblet with the biggest paws ever! On the way to pick him up, we were throwing around names and there was a billboard with "Kingsley" (something or other) being advertised. Everyone said, "KINGSLEY" would be a great name for the King of the Schilling household! He was the sweetest, kindest, most gentle dog and we could not have asked for better! He was… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Tipper Johnson

By Olivia C Johnson published on July 27th, 2026
"There are simply no words that could ever fully express our gratitude to Heaven at Home and Dr. Brush. Making the decision to say goodbye to our 20-year-old cat, Tipper, was the hardest decision we've ever…"
In Loving Memory of Tipper March 1, 2006 – July 6, 2026 With impossibly heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our beloved Tipper, who peacefully left this world at home on July 6, 2026, at the remarkable age of 20. Before he was ours, Tipper spent nearly a decade as the cherished nursing home cat, quietly weaving himself into the lives of residents, families, and staff. He had an extraordinary gift for finding those… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Snickers

By Melissa Perrin published on June 11th, 2026
"I contacted Heaven at Home for the first time when Snickers was showing the signs of not being well after a medical procedure. Mary called me back after my initial inquiry and supported me through my…"
We adopted Snickers in June of 2013. When we took him in, he was already a well-established adult cat who had lived a life, but fit himself into our young family like a perfect puzzle piece. He was a constant companion, sharing a bed with us, spending time on the sofa with us, and seeking us out for attention or play. He adapted to his adopted sister, Lorelai, a few years later, whom he welcomed… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Leaf

By Michelle Jokisch Polo published on May 27th, 2026
"Doctor Katie offered kindness, compassion and care during Leaf’s euthanasia appointment. We are grateful to have had her serve as Leaf’s death steward."
About seven months before you left this earth, you started smiling in ways I’d never witnessed before. You even smiled in your dreams — not just when it came time for meals, a piece of cheese, or a morning walk. You smiled when you’d see me. Whenever I’d come home, you’d raise your weary body from the couch and inch towards the front door just in time to tell me: welcome home, mama — where… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Benson McGraw

By April Milo published on April 28th, 2026
"See above"
Our sweet Benson🩵 Benny came to us as a baby when our first Golden was diagnosed with cancer. He was our joy during the heartache of losing Gunner. Benson did not know how to keep his tongue in, he kissed and kissed everyone he was close to, stranger or family. He was joy and silliness, loyal and a best friend. He loved fruit snacks, swimming in the creek, and cornering small animals under rocks. We… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Coal

By Michelle published on March 23rd, 2026
"I’m so happy we used Heaven at Home to say goodbye. They provided the most professional, comfortable and beautiful experience possible. The price we paid for that experience is priceless as it turned the worst day…"
Coal lived almost 13 years filling our lives with energy, antics and so much love. Everyone loved Coal and he loved everyone. He kept life interesting and kept us on our toes as he loved to grab remotes, shoes, dish towels etc. His favorite things to do were sunbathing, eating and just being around people and the action. He never let you forget he was around. He developed the act of counter surfing in his… Read The Rest of This Memorial

In Memoriam: Oliver

By Mike Legault published on March 18th, 2026
"The staff of Heaven at Home were phenomenal and we cannot sing their praises enough. Kim and Tina provided us with much needed kindness and assistance to ensure we received the proper aftercare to commemorate Oliver's…"
It's taken me several weeks to get a proper write-up for Oliver's life as I feel nothing I commit to this memorial section will sufficiently do him the justice he deserved. Oliver was the best outcome for a bad breakup. He was the end result of a young couple seeking to inject life into an expiring relationship, and little did I know how greatly he'd impact me. I had adopted him with an ex-girlfriend when… Read The Rest of This Memorial
