Raff belonged to Kate & Colin, who have our Ziggy. We only met Raff back in April ‘07, but he immediately grew on us with his enormous personality. Unfortunately, we only met him one more time when we moved to Aberdeenshire, before he passed away.

He will be sadly missed by anyone who knew him...

You can shed tears that he is gone

Or you can smile because he has lived

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back

Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left

Your heart can be empty because you can't see him

Or you can be full of the love that you shared

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday

Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday

You can remember him and only that he is gone

Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back

Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
