Official Launch of the ILovedMyPet.com Web Site
Service Provides Free Online Pet Memorials
October 4, 2003 -- The ILovedMyPet.com web site was
officially launched today. The web site is dedicated to assisting in the
grieving process that follows the loss of a loved family pet.
Visitors can step through a simple question-and-answer wizard
to create a personalized memorial web page as a tribute and commemoration to the
life of their pet.
Everyone working at ILovedMyPet.com is a pet owner and pet
lover. This site was created as a genuine service for people who have loved
and lost a pet, as we have. We have discovered that an online memorial is a
wonderful way to help the grieving process and to create a lasting
remembrance. Our members tell us the same thing every day.
ILovedMyPet.com is a wholly owned subsidiary of
PartingWishes Inc., a privately held corporation based in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada. PartingWishes Inc. is an independent organization which
provides a number of Internet-based services to the public in the areas of
legal document creation, estate planning, advance directives, funeral plans,
wills, power of attorney, living wills, medical health care directives, final
messages, and online memorials. Formed in September 2000,
the company has a dedicated team devoted
to ensuring high customer service, as well as an extensive list
of partners and private investors. For more information about PartingWishes
Inc. and the services it provides, visit

ILovedMyPet.com donates all of its profits to
The Humane Society of the United States and The Humane Society of Canada.
Both of these non-profit organizations are
dedicated to the humane care of pets and other animals in our society.
We calculate our profits as any incoming revenue (from members who choose to
add more space or time to their pet memorial beyond the standard free 3 months
and 100 Kbytes of space), less our ongoing operating expenses for this web
site (such as web hosting fees, storage fees, administrative costs,
maintenance, etc.).
Henry Raud, President and Chief Technology Officer of the
web site, lost his beloved dog of 8 years, "Kahlua", to a
sudden stroke in 2002. He and his family found great comfort in creating
an online memorial for Kahlua, to preserve the
memories and to commemorate her life as an important part of the family.
"It was an extremely satisfying experience to create such a tribute for such a
wonderful pet, and it wasn't long before the idea of creating a web site so
that other grieving pet owners could do the same was born: ILovedMyPet.com."
CEO Tim Hewson says "The work on ILovedMyPet.com is one of the
most satisfying that I have had ever been involved with. The loss of a pet is so
traumatic, and it is often very difficult to think of a fitting tribute to your
most loyal companion. I was thrilled that we are able to offer these services
free of charge, and I know that creating an online memorial can help people in
their difficult time of loss."
