My little girl Hannah
July 22, 1988 - Monday, April 19, 2004

My precious little girl. I post these words and pictures in your memory. I miss you so little Hannah, Anna, Dana. My girl, my love, my best girl. There truly ARE no words to describe how much I love you and how much I miss you. Sweet, sweet baby.

Your Pet's In Heaven
To have loved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For all of the times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treat and returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you.
For the care that you gave to me so unselfishly.
For all of these things I am grateful and thankful.
I ask that you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, loved and touched each others lives. My life was fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.
Today I am as I was in my youth. The grass is always green, butterflies flit among the flowers and the Sun shines gently down upon all of God's creatures.
I can run, jump, play and do all of the things that I did in my youth. There is no sickness, no aching joints and no regrets and no aging.
We await the arrival of our lifelong companions and know that togetherness is forever.
You live in our hearts as we do in yours. Companions such as you are so rare and unique.
Don't hold the love that you have within yourself. Give it to another like me and then I will live forever. For love never really dies, and you are loved and missed as surely as we are.
Your Pets In Heaven
By: by Ken D. Conover

She Is Gone
You can shed tears that she is gone
or you can smile because she lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll come back
or you can open your eyes and see all she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and lose your mind,
be empty and turn your back
or you can do what she'd want:
smile, open your eyes, love and go on.


I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, HANNAH!
Mommy

Dear Marcia,
the she is gone poem is one of my favorites
I don't know why but I have some trouble seeing your images! Perhaps it is my machine's memory is clogged. Just the same your poems are heartfelt and I loved reading them. I will check back later to see if I see the photos. smile.gif
Love,
Patti
