[A small white cat with emerald eyes glances at the rising sun and
nods. It is time. She is wearing an amber necklace with a small
pendant of a winged green garden snake. She climbs the dais and
reaches the podium as sun touches above the horizon to shine softly.
Guests and others who have lost loved ones, fall silent.]

Good morning, sirs and ma’am’s, and a special thank you to the
residents of this wonderful place.

Each October, at sundown of the evening of the first full moon and
through the night, we gather to pay tribute to our dear ones who have
passed on. As the sun rises, we bid another farewell and return to our
homes and families.

Much richer for having known and loved, much better for the lessons
learned, we smile despite our grief.

As always, the first name called represents those whose names we did
not know, those lost or tossed, taken through illness or abuse or
nature's fury.

We stand in silent thought, and send our hopes that they have found
peace and love at last.

[There is a short pause, then light of the new day spills in on them
all. Beside her, a large Great Dane to her left repeats her comments
in ASL-C/D and a small female cat replicates it beside her at her
bestest spelling]

We call their names, family members, dear friends, respected
strangers...our Jellicle Honorees:

[A moment of silence with weeping guests ensues. A paw rises up to the
heavens and slowly back down]

The dawn of a new day seeps in.

Tuxie kitty raises her glass of Squirly Temple, toasting the fading Bridge
and it's inhabitants, with a tear in her eye.
