Princess Min Balice

Princess Min, age 19 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on December 29th, 2025. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services.


Princess Min was a big travel companion. She was our number 1 girl, my little sweet pea and the sweetest girl I've ever known. You will be furever missed and remembered in our hearts furvever. She is absolutely irreplaceable, and no other girl will ever compare.


Princess Min was the heartbeat of this family; she brought all the warmth and all the joy along with little growls and howls to everyday life no matter where we would be she was always there. She was our little piece of heaven on earth that kept us grounded and was so full of life and had plenty of kisses and snuggles to give! She was our protector and our little funny girl. Princess Min is survived by her loving parents: Mother, Sylvia Balice and Father, Joseph Balice and her sister Shelly and her little brothers Ziff and Pepe. She was one of a kind that could never be forgotten. Our hearts are filled with love and happiness because of our memories and all of the precious years we spent with her, and our hearts will also forever be filled with sorrow until we meet again.

Min had the best smell you could imagine when she got all warm and cozy either on top of the blankets or under the blankets. Min and dad had the cutest "Hide the Bone game" as a night-time ritual, where he would play with her by hiding the bone with his hands and switching it out between hands and either hiding it on her under a blanket or behind his knee where Min had to sniff and find the bone then paw at the hand she had guessed it was in. She had a little bounce/prance to her little pitter patter when she walked or ran and of course different pitters and patters depending on her mood. She had a way she would just look at you and give you kisses letting you know that no matter what, things were going to be ok because she had your back at every turn of events that life would throw at you. When Min slept at night she would sleep by or on dad's head until he went to work then she would give cuddles to mom after he left. She loved to go bye bye and had a way of making you share the front seat in car that was her seat because she was so tiny but wasn't selfish. She loved to travel with us anywhere and stay in the booths at the craft shows and meet people that could only look at her and never touch her, because she was a diva like that, and she let everyone know it too if they got too close. She was the head of our household and would sometime let Dad think he was still the head, but we all knew who really was in charge. I loved how she has changed her look over time by starting with being our little solid black stallion then she switched to our little fawn with a white mask and then to our little black and white wolf then finally to our little gleaming bright white Angel. She was the only dog we knew that could change her colors over the years. I could never get enough of the way she would talk and howl, whether it was high pitched, very low pitched or even the attitude grrs she would give out. Min loved... Loved ...LOVED to ring her little bell around her neck, she would put her chain in her mouth and just shake her head slowly just ringing her bell till she was completely satisfied. She loved to bully the other pups by keeping them in line as well as playing with them afterwards. She was a teacher and a caretaker to all of the other fur babies in her house. She has so many more things she would do but there is not enough space on this paper to write. We all miss her dearly.

Shadow, age 14 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on October 19th 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. Every day when I would come home, Shadow would meet me at the door. When I lived in Chicago and he was a kitten we would be up playing until 2/3 am. He was literally my shadow, he would wait for me outside the shower, sleep in bed with me every night, and I would lay there petting him until we fell asleep. Shadow was a one-person cat, very attached and protective of his mama. He had his eyes on her at all times and followed her room to room. Shadow was very proud and very gentleman-like. He constantly wanted to play even in his old age, until he got sick. His favorite treat was canned tuna and chicken.

Cooper, also known as Coopie, age 5.5 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on September 15th 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. Cooper was an incredibly loving dog, he had a way of expressing love, in a way, no words could truly comprehend. Through thick and thin, he had a way of seeing the best in everyone around him, and returning it twice over. He had one floppy ear that would never quite sit right, he would always sleep in bed as if he were a little person. I will never know the kindness in a dog again like the kindness Cooper held for all the ones he loved. I will forever miss him, until we meet again at The Rainbow Bridge.

Lola Mae, age 10 years old, crossed the Rainbow Bridge on May 24th 2026. Cremation services accorded. Arrangements entrusted to Whispering Willow Pet Funeral & Cremation Services. Lola's favorite activity was to play with her stuffed monkeys. We used to joke that Lola was our daughter's "nanny" because she would sleep next to her and come get us every time she woke up. Lola would give the best hugs. She would wrap her paws around you and put her head on your shoulder. She also loved kittens and would light up whenever she heard or seen one. She was loved tremendously and she loved us fiercely.

Thinking back to little memories of Belle one of her most favorite things to do was ride on the golf cart, especially with Pops. Belle was a mom- she had a litter of puppies in 2019. She loved to be outside and to go for car rides. Belle had the sweetest personality and was also a very laid-back dog. She always knew when someone needed to be loved! Belle will be missed by her mom, dad, her brother Winston, and her sisters Bailey and Willow.
