Thanks everyone, it really does help to share the loss with others who have gone through this. It also helps to talk about it and hear so many kind words of encouragement from all of you. And yes, they are part of the family, not just a pet but the best friend I could ever have. I'm sorry to those of you who I've stirred up your hearts because you've lost your good friend or in some cases, friends. I don't ever want to forget and don't mind the pain but do hope that it eases sometime.
Funny how insignificant everything else is when something like this happens. The car has been the farthest thing from my mind but not the people, thanks for the wonderful replies!
