As you may have heard or read on Jorge’s blog, his beloved Nunu died earlier this week:
It breaks my heart to tell you that yesterday as we were preparing to all go to the airport Nunu was struck by a car as she crossed the street. She died in my arms.
We are burying her in the Pet Garden at Valley of the Temples in Kaneohe. Nunu hated the water so we couldn’t bring ourselves to having her ashes scattered in the ocean. Three months from now you’ll be able to find a bronze plaque inscribed with just her name there. If you’d like to leave a flower or a toy, I’m sure she’d love it.
Thanks to Ryan for the idea: if you’d like to, you can make a donation to the Hawaiian Humane Society in memory of Nunu.
