Im sorry to see JB pass on to doggie heaven. When I first met JB she was in her older years. I would walk by and she would lay there, look at me, wag her tail and smile. She just knew that she was going to get scratch on the head. I'll miss her happy face.

We shall always remember JB as the first of our "Grand Dogs". Adorable and mischievous as a puppy; gentle and loving as a family dog; majestic as she aged. Our hearts will forever be marked with her paw print.

Turks, we are so sorry that JB's beautiful life has ended. How many times we saw her waiting oustide school with all the other "siblings" for the big kids to run out of school, safely leading the way home. We will miss her.

JB was a great dog... I credit her as the inspiration for agreeing to get our own family dog, Bo. I fondly remember JB playing with Bo as a puppy and then a few years later the more mature JB trying to ignore Bo, who still wanted to chase her (or was it be chased?) around in circles in the front yard. I'm sure your family will miss her deeply.... Best wishes, Timm and the Locke family

JB was a lot like our black lab, Maggie. She was the dog who inspired us to get a black lab. We remember her as a very,very sweet lab. JB proved that labs (especially black!) are rightfully America's best dog. She was so sweet!

JB was a wonderful dog. So very sweet and gentle. I guess that we didn't really get to know her until her "golden years" so we missed out on her youthful spunk. Even in her pain she was always a lady with impeccable manners. She always felt it necessary to get up and great her guests to say hello; even when it became increasingly difficult to do so. The best family and neighborhood dog, JB will be remembered fondly for her gentle nature. Beautiful and lovable, she touched so many hearts. May she be in the most beautiful part of doggy heaven where she will live again in youth and health. We miss her and pray that your family's pain and loss lessens each day.

JB was a wonderful, kind and gentle dog. In fact, it was JB's special attributes that confirmed my family's decision to get our own black lab puppy (JB's cousin Maggie). JB lived a great, full, happy life - doing all of the things a lab loves to do - eating, playing, swimming, getting loved and taking a nice long nap!

We enjoyed getting to know JB in her later years...that big bark, relaxing in the sun, always appreciative of a nice rub behind the ears...she was a constant and calming presence in the midst of all the activity. And we will miss her occasional forays into our backyard through the gate. We just liked having her around. it was apparent to everyone that she was loved and appreciated.

I'll always remember JB jogging with Mike into town and drinking from the public water fountain. She never needed a leash and always watched for cars. She was a good dog and is now in the kingdon of all good retrievers. The Parkinson Family

JB brought so many smiles to people's faces as they walked by your house. You could always count on her to bring happiness into your day. I will always cherish the time I spent dog sitting JB. It was a joy to have JB as a part of our neighborhood. She will be greatly missed.

J.B. sounds like she was just a wonderful dog and family member. I know she will be missed forever. We have had our cat since before children and have watched her go down in the pecking order, as well, as each girl was born. But it's her, not the girls, that get to sleep in our bed with us every night. May your memories of J.B. bring a smile to your faces and warmth in your heart.

I had the pleasure and good luck to be JB's neighbor for several years. There wasn't a sweeter creature around; even Oliver (my cat) liked JB. My favorite moments with JB were on the Turkiewicz' front porch. Frequently I found her stretched out above the steps. As I approached, her tail would begin to thump the wood decking. The decibels and frequency of thumps would increase with each stroke of her nose and patting of her belly. About that time Cristel would open the door to see what was going on, which always led to a nice neighborly chat. JB wasn't just a family dog, she was the neighborhood dog that made us a community. Rest in peace my sweet friend.

I remember when JB first joined our family---with her little "pointy" head and zest for life. She had special meaning to me because my beautiful daughter was so thrilled with her and she was named after my grandmother. She and Friskers were about the same age and enjoyed time together as family members both in St. Helena and Portland. After all that is what family is all about---being together and sharing special time together. It is always difficult to make life decisions, but as the Bible says "...there is a season for all things". JB's last season, albeit in pain was one of love and caring. Now she is where she will once again be able to frolic, fetch and enjoy good health. How fortunate she is to have had such a loving, caring family to be with and watch over them and they over her at that last.

JB was the office mascot in the early years of FuneralNet, back when we worked in her basement office. She didn't really like working too much though. She preferred to head outside for a chance to fetch a ball or stick in the yard or to take a walk around the neighborhood. Those was her real passions. On walks she always led us up to the line of shops in Westmoreland where she would go from one shop to the next. She knew which ones would have a treat or just a good old friendly greeting for her. Either one suited her just fine. She was a great dog and will be dearly missed.

We remember JB as a kind and sweet lab with her tail always wagging. We remember getting up in the morning and going down to the basement and hearing her tail starting to wag as we went down the stairs. Also she was noted for prodigious amounts of poopies during her walks.

Christel, Mike, Tristen, Trafford and Blythe - we know JB was an important part of your family and she will be missed by all of you. Iâ€™ll always remember her at each of your houses, especially sharing the battleship with her. She was lucky to have been able to do all that she did over the years.
