RU2TWINS, LLC Launches Duffy & Friends Online Pet Memorial Website
Online Pet Memorial Website Honors Pets and Helps Less Fortunate Animals
"When a pet passes," says Cynthia Gannon, co-CEO, "whether from a long term illness or a sudden accident, oftentimes the pet owner not only has to face his or her grief alone, but also has trouble sharing wonderful memories of the pet with non-pet owners."
DuffyandFriends.com resolves that tragic predicament. "Our site is a place where pet lovers can celebrate the lives of their pets that have passed with other pet lovers who understand," says Valerie Krahe, co-CEO.
The idea for the online pet memorial site came about after Valerie lost her beloved pet of fourteen years, Duffy. Cynthia, Valerie's identical twin sister, was a major caregiver to the Yorkshire Terrier when Valerie traveled. Both felt the loss of Duffy keenly but wanted to do something to celebrate his life not mourn their loss. "That's how DuffyandFriends.com was born," say the twins.
Visitors to the online site can become members for free. The free membership allows all visitors to browse pet memorials that have been posted. For a small fee, visitors can also post condolences to the owners of the pets who have passed, and the condolences remain on the specific pet memorial page for two years.
Members can also post memorials of their pets that have passed. The memorial remains on the website for two years from date of posting.
DuffyandFriends.com has other pet-friendly features, incl uding an affiliations page that provides links to other pet-friendly nonprofit and for-profit sites.
"When the time comes," Cynthia and Valerie say, "DuffyandFriends.com is there for pet owners who are grieving alone."
