In Loving Memory: Squirmy Munk

Monday Squirmy returned to our Heavenly Father after 2 years of devoted hamster service to the Munk Family. Squirmy was the pet of Hunter Munk, but she was loved by all. Squirmy never bit a sole, rode upon Hayden's head, and entertained the children of Spectrum Academy. We will miss her. Funeral Services were held in the Merle Burningham backyard on Monday evening. Squirmy is survived by Hunter, Hayden, Harley, Dave, and Stefie Munk.
The boys took it really hard. Hunter's tender heart was broken and he cried and cried. Hunter was more private and quiet about it, Hayden was devastated and sobbed to the extreme at the initial death scene, then when the reality of leaving Squirmy in the ground hit him, he sobbed a good one again. Harley will miss Squirmy also, but she was not as attached to her as the boys. Hunter's parting words were: "She was my first and last pet. It is too hard when they die." Hayden had this to say: "I cry because I have emotion. When are we getting another one?"

Know that our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. But remember that Squirmy is in a better place where he can run around without any cage bars and jump and play to his heart's content! You, no doubt, will see Squirmy again some day. We love you. Maka and Baka
