About that CD...
If you decide you'd like to go that route and if you'd like help with you memorial cd please send me an PM. I make these types of presentations for memorial services, graduations, anniversaries, etc.
This might also be a consideration for you:

We had a very dear cat - just one of those once-in-a-lifetime blessings - the type of pet you feel like you dont' deserve because he/she is so special. We lost him to diabetes/asthma complications. Argie was heartbroken, at best. We both were very upset but Argie really took it hard. We found the memorial book to be helpful - still painful, but that's part of coping.
