Willi passed away peacefully this morning around 11:45am EST. I had my 'house call' vet come over and Willi was able to stay lying on my bed - one of his favorite spots - and gently passed away with me being able to hold his head and look into his eyes telling him how much I loved him. I am so glad I decided to do this at home. My girlfriend and I wrapped Willi up and she took him to a local crematory for me where he will be individually cremated. Thank you everyone for your support during this difficult time. I will work on a tribute for later.
