Suncurl Friends Gone Over the Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow Bridge
The Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow Valley
Far away, just this side of Heaven, there is a beautiful valley
of lush green grass and fragrant flowers. The birds sing sweetly in
the warm sunshine and the soft breezes gently rustle the leaves of the
stately shade trees; and from this place, called Rainbow Valley, there
is a Rainbow Bridge leading to Heaven.
When your beloved pet dies, he is taken to Rainbow Valley to
join the others who have gone before him. If he is old and infirm, he
is made young and strong again. If he is injured and hurts, he is made
whole again. If his coat is matted and bedraggled, it is made clean and
glossy again. There is good food and sweet, fresh water for all, and
there are treats and toys and games to play. The pets are happy and
content as they frolic together. But they each miss that special person
that they had to leave behind.
Then, as time goes by, occasionally one of the pets will leave
the rest, listening intently and gazing off into the distance. Suddenly,
he begins to bark or meow rapturously, his body trembling with excitement.
He has seen you, coming to join him at last. He runs to you and as you
once again stroke and caress his beloved head and body, he rains wet
kisses upon your face to mingle with your tears of joy. As you look into
his trusting, loving eyes, you know that, although parted for so long,
you have always been in each other's hearts.
Together, you stroll through Rainbow Valley and cross the Rainbow
Bridge, secure in the knowledge that you will never be parted again, as
you enter into Paradise.

PR Nunzio of Suncurl
Blue Point Birman
July 26, 1990 - July 16, 2004
I fell in love with Birman's about the same time I found American Curls. At a show in St. Paul, Mn in January 1990, I met a Birman breeder and told her "I want one" as she walked by with a beautiful Birman. She replied, "I want one of yours." And, so a trade was made. A blue point boy for me to show in Premiership and a torbie and white LH girl curl for her to show in Premiership.
Our Best moment was a Best Kitten win in Carolyn Osier's ring at a Phoenix Show in 1991. After years of showing Curls in Miscellaneous and Provisional Class (before championship status) a Best Kitten Rosette was overwhelming for me.
Nunzio never granded because he always stayed petite, so he stayed at home and lived the "good" life in the Van Derven house. Though he lived with a house filled with Curls, he would never allow himself to act like a "Curl". He always kept his dignity, gentleness and wonderful disposition Birman's are known for.
