"Jack & Murphy came by tonight and picked out so many nice things. We will be donating the rest to our local animal shelter early next week. Jack also met our sweet MaddieKay tonight, so much love. Much love friends," The Goncalves Family Page wrote on Facebook.
Gifts to be donated to animal shelters
Some days ago, Kaylee's family wrote a post about Murphy, saying he is "living his best life with Jack." They set up an Amazon Wish List for Murphy, including 'Pet 'n Shape Beef Bone Dog Treats', 'ANGIEHAIE Dog Delights Chewy Lamb Stick Grass Feds,' and 'Mammoth Flossy Chews Rope Tug'. Her family said the donations would be handed over to animal shelters. After Kaylee's murder, Murphy has been living with Jack.
The recent post also names 'MaddieKay', referring to Kaylee's sister's recently-born daughter. The child was named Theodora MaddieKay Stevenson. 'MaddieKay' is a tribute to Kaylee and her murdered best friend Madison Mogen, who was also called Maddie.
'Most precious photos'
Emotional social media users reacted to the post, with one user saying, "I love every one of these photos, and I love that Murphy and other dogs are getting spoiled. The large photo of Kaylee took my breath away. Such a beauty! Hugs to you all. I’m glad Jack is getting to meet MaddieKay!" one user said. Another wrote, "This is so beyond sweet and amazing jack with MaddieKay is so adorable, you can tell he cares so deeply! Aubrie also looks so beautiful in her sweater, her bright smile reminds me of her big sis Kaylee." "If Jack continues Murphy's Wish List he could do it in Murphy and Kaylee's name as a non-profit to donate to all of the animal shelters. Kaylee had such a good heart and loved Murphy so much, that might be a beautiful legacy for them both," one user wrote, while another said, "Thank you for sharing these most precious photos. I have often wondered how Jack was doing. It’s wonderful knowing that he and Murphy are part of the Goncalves family. Baby is beautiful so is younger sis. A majestic smile. May you all be blessed with love to help you through the most difficult times and days ahead."
"This meeting has to be so bittersweet for Jack and all of you. Seeing all the gestures of love people have sent to Murphy in honor of him and your beautiful Kaylee, and meeting sweet innocent Maddiekay has brought so many mixed emotions of joy and sorrow. God Bless and bring Peace to all of you," one user wrote, while another said, "Wonderful photos. So good to see Jack, and your beautiful new baby.
