Hello, this message carries a heavy heart filled with love. Gizmo 🐾, our extraordinary puppy dog and the beloved mascot of Jez-Mir-Izing, passed away yesterday. At 105 (15) years old, he was just 22 days shy of celebrating his 112th birthday (16 in human years). He was a truly remarkable and cherished dog who loved everyone and wished for nothing more than to see others happy, loved, and joyful. He will be deeply missed.
In this time of grief, it’s essential to remember the joy and love that Gizmo brought into our lives. His playful spirit and unwavering loyalty touched everyone he encountered, while his gentle nature made him a treasured companion. Gizmo had a unique ability to sense when someone needed comfort, providing solace to many.
As we honor his life, let’s cherish the memories of his wagging tail and the warmth he radiated wherever he went. Perhaps we can find comfort in sharing stories of his little quirks and the countless moments of joy he gave us. Though he has left us, his legacy of happiness and unconditional love will continue to inspire us. Let us pay tribute to him by spreading the same kindness and joy that he so generously shared. Rest in peace, dear Gizmo. You will forever hold a place in our hearts.
With love, ~Krista and family ❤️ 🐾 Krista Schafer Eric Schafer
