I gave this book as a gift to one of my friends who is a huge dog lover (like me!) She absolutely loved it! Thank you for this very special, from the heart book,

A friend introduced me to Jacqueline, who I discovered is a neighbor of ours. She shared her poignant story of Boris and the dogs she met in her daily life. Dog people know there are no truer friends than our canine companions. Jacqueline has captured the love, sensitivity, humor and devotion of these dogs through her beautiful photography and her poetry. I bought this book for myself and then again for a friend who is still mourning the loss of her companion a year later. There is even a place in the back of the book to add your own dog tributes and memories. "Remember Me As Sunshine" is a book that honors the human-canine bond in a most tender way.

"Remember Me" was a gift from my wife and best friend when we lost a much-loved member of our four-legged family. I thought it would put another friend's loss into perspective on losing one of theirs. While the grief may not heal any quicker, we so often forget to treasure the moments of love and laughter that bind us to our dogs. Thank you for a place to put those memories; a place to return to when the grief sits heavy in our hearts.

A most touching and poetic book. I shed a tear.

Tender. Insightful. Lovingly crafted. This book is the perfect gift for any dog parent grieving the loss of their fur baby. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

This book is BEAUTIFUL! Each page is lovingly crafted, beautifully photographed and full of personality. Jacqueline's dog Boris was one of my favorite animals in the world, and his loss was devastating. I gave this book to my friend who had lost a beloved pet and she treasures it. Anyone who's ever loved a dog will feel this book deeply.

Someone gifted me this book when our beloved Chica died. It perfectly recalls our connections to our dogs in a beautiful and authentic way. It evokes deep emotions, expressed in ways we may not be capable of, yet it isn't corny or maudlin. I've ordered two for friends. Well done!

Just received a copy of this from the authors sister, a good dance friend of mine! We had just lost our beloved golden cream retriever, Baxter. She thought it would help with the understanding , and did it ever!
He was 11 years old and we had him since he was 4 months old. We were devastated, although we knew this would happen Baxter took a turn for the worse and we had to put him down. It was heartbreaking but I couldn’t watch him suffer. He told us it was “his time” when he refused to eat and take his meds. I know he’s watching over us and I’ll see him again at the rainbow bridge one day, along with all my other pets. This book made me laugh and cry and I’ve reread it 3 times. Although I’ve lost my best friend, this book really helped the process. Thank you!

My best friend wrote the best book about the love and beauty of the dogs who surround our lives. This book is such an image of Jacqueline herself. As a young girl, she would pick wildflowers on the way to my house and give them to my mom. Her bedroom was painted yellow like the sun because she loved being outside. Jacqueline would help me care for my dogs as if they were her own. I’m so glad she got to express herself in this treasured book. Mary would be so proud!💛.

A beautiful book and an amazing tribute to all the wonderful dogs we have in our lives. Every dog lover would appreciate and love this book.

What an incredibly tasteful and artistically pleasing answer to the delicate and challenging subject of grieving the loss of a beloved pet. The artwork and poetry are extremely well done and give the reader so much to smile about. I gifted this book to a friend who recently lost their dog and it was sooo well received by them. They said it was the first bereavement gift they received that put a smile on their face rather than just reminding them of sadness. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has lost a beloved pet or knows someone that has. Even if you have not lost a pet, the images and poetry still make for a great coffee table book and talking piece for all dog lovers.

A beautiful, creative and loving tribute to all dogs. A wonderful treasure for anyone who has so loved a dog.
Thank you Jacqueline and thank you Boris!

Beautifully written and each page speaks directly to your heart.
This will be my “Go To” gift to send a little slice of sunshine to family and friends that have lost their beloved pet .. and could use Boris’s story to warm their heart…

With Remember Me As Sunshine Jacqueline Lemieux-Bokor has created a sublime ode to the pure unconditional love of all our dogs. With soulful photographs of older dogs that vividly yet gently capture their personalities - and poems, as if channeled- in their imagined voices - authentic to each dog (she got to know them individually) this book shines like a ray of sunshine. Visually stunning- every page is a feast for the eyes and for the heart and soul. Here are the flowers these dogs would see on their daily walks, the butterflies (sustainably sourced) that they might encounter, their favorite toys ~ the page's delightful colors to create the rainbow bridge. Ultimately we want to remember our own dog and as such this book allows that level of participation with a page for one's own dog's photo and pages for writing down memories of our beloved companion. I cannot think of a better gift to give someone who is grieving the passing/ the loss of their dog. Because this book is truly cathartic ~ it makes one cry, then smile through one's tears, and feel wonder, awe and gratitude to have known the unconditional love of a dog. I know you will treasure this magnificent book as I do. Thank you Jacqueline, you miracle worker. And thank you Boris!

Our dogs were part of our family, Tessa and Shiva Marie. They brought us delight, laughter and unconditional love every day. Tessa would
look at me and say, "I am right here Mom what do you need me to do" Shiva Marie was an Elkhound and just wanted to follow that
instinct. But when I would come home she would bury her head between my legs. This masterpiece of REMEMBER Me AS SUNSHINE captures and reveals a piece of my heart. Yes its shining. Looking forward to sharing with dear friends. Thank you thank you Jacqueline for gifting the world with your magic.
Beauty like you created has an everlasting power.
