Sorry to hear the news, Brian. The fact that you witnessed it happen makes it worse for you. We lost our last dog to cancer, 8 years ago, and decided not to replace her, but she left a large hole in our lives, and I often wish that we had "adopted" a new one (I don't like saying "purchased"). The joy that a good pet brings into your life, far outweighs any expense.

Three months ago I lost my budgie after 14 years. When I walked in at night, from a day at the office, he would bob up and down, and tap his mirror in greeting. I still automatically look to the spot where his cage used to be, expecting to see him.
