In Memory of Chester

Chester Alex Schroeder--passed away 12-7-13-photo 1 (2)Chester passed away three days ago on Saturday, December 7, 2013. He was a true friend of The Pongo Fund. He was a very good boy. And he was loved. All of us at The Pongo Fund share in this giant loss with Chester’s family Sue, Tangela and Hank. A loss that words cannot ever truly articulate.

His obituary follows, written with love by his Mom.

“Chester Alex Schroeder crossed the Rainbow Bridge today.

At 15 years and 9 months, he was the oldest of my kids and bottom of the pack.

He was my “special” boy, my sunshine, my sweet rascally love…an innocent.

He was my kisser.  Drippy, fresh from the water dish, all over your face and given at the most inopportune time kisses were his favorite.

This boy’s start in life was rough.  I was his third and forever mom and I’m so incredibly grateful to have been guardian to this ray of sunshine for over 13 years.

He went to his final sleep at home, in my lap, with his sister and brother close by.

Aloha a hui hou kakou Chessie…

You were a very Good Boy and will be missed.”

Please join all of us at The Pongo Fund in wishing Chester a safe journey over the Rainbow Bridge. We know that he will be greeted by many good friends.
