Has anyone ever bought a pair of Oakleys to commemorate the loss of a loved one?

About two weeks ago, we had my cat Zoe put down because of liver failure. She was a wonderful companion ever since I've been out on my own, and I took it pretty hard. Every single morning for the past 8 years, Zoe would sit and wait for me to get out of the shower. Even on her last day she still made sure she was there to greet me even though she was in pain. The first day she wasn't waiting to say "good morning" was pretty rough, so I did the only sensible thing and jumped onto Oakley's web site to create a custom pair of shades in her memory. Grey with green eyes. I call them "Zoakleys".

Since my wife is currently laid off and they weren't very cheap, we decided we should probably wait to buy them. Ken Siverts (Heglock) heard this and he wasn't going to have it. He emailed me a copy of the order with a message saying "No worries. They're on their way." That was such a thoughtful thing to do. Thanks so much, Ken!

sorry to hear about your loss Jason. Thats a Perfect way to remeber your pet by though and the glasses are cool too.

Thanks. Every time I look at them I think of the great memories.

They look better on you than they did on the O Custom page. Carry on my friend!

Very sorry to hear of your loss, Jason. Because many people consider their pets family members it can really hurt when they're gone. But hold onto those good memories, and thanks for sharing with us.

Beautiful pair of sunglasses and an even better act of kindness!!! Well done Ken, your a good man and a great friend.

that was a real nice gesture Ken, kudos. sorry for your loss Jason, i cannot imagine waking up and my feline companion not being there as well. Family pets are always special. and nice way to rem her.

awesome pair of shades. =)

Very appropriate pair for commemoration, esp. the color match. Kudos to Ken S.

Condolences on the loss of Zoe. It's always crazy tough losing a pet. Those are very nice glasses. Zoe would surely approve.

I'm sorry for your loss mr jason but thank God for people like mr ken.

Thanks everyone. Yes, Ken is a good dude.

and this is why I love Ken (in a pletonic way of course) good on you Ken.

Jason sorry to her about your cat, I had to put mine down last year and know its tuff. My wife thought I was crazy getting upset over a cat.

Beautiful pair of sunglasses and an even better act of kindness!!! Well done Ken, your a good man and a great friend.

amen to that

I hear you, Defender. I never thought I'd get so messed up over a cat.

Those are a spot-on likeness of Zoe. I'm sure those will have a special place in your display case for the rest of your life. Great stuff too Ken.

Zoe looks beautiful

I'm a huge cat fan so i'm so sorry to hear of your loss, pets break your heart when they leave us :0(

The glasses look great, an awesome gesture from Ken

This thread is full of awesome (and sadness.)

I love the engraving too. Nice touch.
