(((Steve))) My heart and thoughts are with you and Rorshach today. Jock leaves a huge hole in the FD community, but his contributions to our society will never be forgotten. We are all blessed to have been able to come to know him, if even for just a little while.

Fragile Circle
"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own,
live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."
-- Irving Townsend

My deepest sympathies.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Steve. It's just not fair that their lives are so short when their personalities are so huge.

Hugs,

Melanie & Racci
 
Tears for your baby. I'm sorry Steve. You've had a rough few years; I hope you have someone to comfort you.
 
I am so sorry to hear this sad news. No matter how long we share our lives with them, it is never long enough. I hope you find peace and the hole in your heart filled through your happy memories of your life with Jock. I know Rorschach is grieving too.

My deepest sympathy to you both.
 
((((((Steve and Rorschach)))))) Jock stole my heart long ago. I used to check for your posts everyday, Steve, so I could keep up with The Boys. A favorite picture that I still share with friends now and then is Jock's Cat Boobs. I feel like I've lost a good friend. So, so sorry that you both have the pain to bear. Praying for peace for you and for Jock to make one of his hilarious entrances at The Bridge. Love.
 
((Steve)) I am so sorry that Jock had to move on to heaven. I know how special he was and how much he will be missed. Fly free Jock!
 
Oh no Steve! I am so sorry to hear that your dear Jocularity has passed on. We have lost a real true legend here on FDMB. Your boy paved the way in so many areas. Being the first kitty in the WORLD to use Levemir was the first big milestone, and then Jock showing us how he could successfully use Levemir along with a bolus of N, and then at another time using Levemir with TID dosing. Jock also showed us how important tight regulation can be for a lot of kitties.

He will truly be missed. I know there is a huge hole in your heart right now and poor Rorschach. I am sure he misses his buddy terribly already. Fly free dear Jock. (((Steve)))
 
Steve,

I am so sorry that you lost your sweet Jock. I know how close you were to Jock. You must be heart broken. Know that you gave that little guy the best life ever. He will always be in your heart and ours.

(((Steve)))

Fly Free Sweet Jock.

So terribly sorry for the hole he has left in your hearts. He is one of the many "oldies" that hurt so badly to say goodbye to. As you know he will always be in your heart & someday you will be able to think of him w/smiles instead of tears.
 
Oh Steve, I am so sorry!!! I am wiping away tears as I type this. Minivan and Shess and SO many others were there to greet sweet Jock. He is going to be greatly missed by all of us.

Thank you for all of your contributions. You were always there for me when I was struggling with Shess' diabetes in the beginning. I can't thank you enough. I also especially loved seeing the silly pics you posted of Jock. Jock will always be near you, Steve. I am so sorry.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((STEVE))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
 
fly free and land softly on angel wings, jock. your battle is over and peace is at hand. (((((Steve))))) :cry:
 
((Steve)) I am so sorry for your loss of Jock.
I wish him a safe crossing with soft landings.
He joins so many of our beloved angels.

Fly free sweet Jock. wings_cat
 
Oh Steve ....My heart just breaks at this news. There are just some kitties that you expect to be here forever and Jock was one of them....

You and Jock have helped soooo many of us ...... you are both heros here.

Fly free sweet Jock...you will be in our hearts always.
 
Oh Steve, I'm really sorry and sad to hear about Jock. Big hugs to (((you))) and (((Rorschach))) Jock was truly a unique soul and will always be remembered fondly.
 
( (( Steve & Rorschach)) )
so sad to hear that Jock has Journeyed on.
I never thought I would of ever said a nekked cat was handsome until I layed eyes on Jock and Rorschach and Minivan. Then I was completely smitten. You kindly answered all my questions about nekked cats. And of course, those about FD -- the micro dose syringe pictures and tips I used many times for Winnie and I have Jock ( and you ) to thank for them.

I especially enjoyed all their antics that you shared with us over the years.
I saved the link to my favorite because it would always give me a smile. It is the one w/ Jock and Basket dancer . This is the old link http://romlin.com/images/vex/BasketCase/, which no longer works.
If you still have it somewhere and are up to it -- will you please repost it someday ?
I thought it caught Jock's personality and was so sweet.

If only we could see Jock and Minivan clowning around at The Bridge. I am sure they are together... and I bet they have their ways of checking in on you and Rorschach.

Fly Free sweet handsome Jock !

Remember to take care of you Steve. I'm glad Rorschach is there for you, and you for him.

Peace,
 
Oh no Steve, not our lovely trailblazing naked kitty, Jock?
Such an enormous legacy that special boy leaves here. Such a shining wake in his path.

((((((((hugs))))))))) to you and head scritches to Rorschach.
I hear there is a party of EPIC proportions at the bridge tonight, much whisker kissing and head butting and many who are giving thanks to Jock and to you for what you both were able to lead here.

I am sorry for your loss.
Fly free, and bright as the stars Jock.

Leaves Rorschach and me with holes in our hearts.

Fly FREEEEE Jock.
Give my Sweety a kiss for me.
 
Steve,

I am ever so sorry to hear this. You have my deepest sympathies.

So sorry. Jock and you have helped so many cats with diabetes. So many. Yes, Jock, fy free. But swoop down to give a purr from time to time to those who loved you.
 
I am so very, very sorry, Steve!!! I know that Jock has joined Minivan(GA) and that makes me grateful but my heart also breaks for Rorschach and you I know how much you both must be hurting. My heart goes out to you and I pray that the memories of the love and life that you have shared with Jock soon begins to help your heart heal and brings a smile back to your face.

Fly free, precious Jock, fly free.............
 
Fly Free Jock wings_cat

with deepest sympathies to you and yours on the passing of Jock....in time I hope you are able to smile at the memories you two shared together.....
 
I am so, so sorry Steve. Jock joins our other illustrious sugarcats at the Bridge where they are free to chase butterflies and send rainbows until the day comes when we are together again.

Sadly,

Melissa
 
Oh dear! I am so sorry to hear that. I was an ardent fan of Jock's, one of his many. You must miss that beautiful boy so much. May God bring you comfort and peace. He surely brought you one very special, handsome boy kitty.
 
Oh......noooooooooooooooo.......... (((((((((((((((((Steve & Rorschach))))))))))))))))))))

I can't believe it. Can't wrap my head around it. We talk a lot around here (especially lately...) about legends.... Well Jock was certainly that! And so very much more.

Naked, beautiful Jock.

I'm so deeply sorry, Steve, words fail me. I sit at my desk this morning, reading this news crying like a fool. Jock was that special. One that I certainly haven't met, but felt I knew, and adored. He captured my heart when I first came to the board. You were one of my first repsonders that helped me & Winston. You - and Jock - convinced me to attempt to home test when I thought it completely impossible...you patiently sent me link after link...articles and research papers....and a bazillion questions....

Though we logically know it isn't possible, Jock is one I thought would just live forever. No matter how long we get, it just isn't ever enough. I don't think 100 years would be enough...

I'm SO sorry you had to let Jock go, but there's some comfort knowing he is again with Minivan...and the antics they are likely getting up to while they wait for you.....

Rest joyfully, sweet Jock. You were loved beyond measure and will be missed more than words can express - and by more people than you can even imagine....

Wish you were close enough to give a real hug.... praying you peace and comfort....loves & scritches to Rorschach..
 
Oh, Steve...
so terribly sorry to see this.

Land softly, Jock...
you will remain a legend here.

all four of us lighting candles for your boy...

Celi, Binks, Smudge, and Annie

Dear Steve,

May Jock be with you always in your heart, and hopefully you will see him again one day.

I am so very sorry for such a sad loss of a wonderful boy that Jock was. You have done so much for so many who have had to learn how to cope with feline diabetes. Bless your heart, and Jock's too. He truly was a treasure that will always be cherished by you, and all who knew him on this board.

((((HUGS)))),

Steve,

So sorry that Jock has joined Minivan at the Bridge. Hugs for both you and Rorschach as you mend your broken hearts.

Love those naked babies!

Steve, I am very sorry for your loss. Jock was an icon here on FDMB. I remember when I first was researching FD, Jock's story on Wiki led me here. I hope in time your memories will ease your pain.
 
Steve, I'm so sorry for your loss of Jock.. Jock's page is beautiful.

He is a legend around here.. 8 years as a diabetic !!! Gives many of us hope with our own kitties.

Praying you can find peace and comfort. :YMHUG:
 
I am so very sorry. Please know that John and I send our prayers for peace and hugs to you and your family. I can't believe that another of our legands has passed on.... Be at peace Jock.
 
OH STEVE!!! I am So So sorry!!! You were one of the first people to help us when we first came here
Jock was indeed a legend here--You have helped so so many people in FDMB--
We all Loved Jock, & your other kitties--you did such a great job with them--
My heart is broken for you--
But Grief is the price we pay for Love...Who could have loved him more than you & your family!!
FLY FREE DEAR DEAR JOCK--AND LAND SOFTLY AT THE BRIDGE!!!
 
Our deepest sympathy that Jock has crossed the bridge.....he is the legend of FDMB and everyone knows of him.
Thank you, Steve, for all you have done for all of us in FDMB...all the educational information...in honor of your Jock.

Gentle journey, sweet Jock.
