Goodbye Abby.

[Meg_Elizabeth]

My best friend is gone. I watched her die in my arms. I cannot breathe, I cannot stop crying. My beautiful, angelic baby girl is gone forever. May she be greeted by my loving pappy in heaven and may I find some peace on earth

[Robert]

So so sorry for your loss. Praying for you and Abby. Know that you have given Abby the greatest gift of all - a pain free comfortable escape. I know tommy and Tammy - my two beautiful souls in heaven- were there to greet and welcome Abby.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I know your girl arrived safely while she waits for the day you will be together again. I know my baby Patches was there to greet her with open paws. God bless.

[Meg_Elizabeth]

Thank you all very much. I have to believe in heaven. I have to believe I'll see her again. My heart is broken, I cannot live in a world without my Abby

[Squirt's Mom]

Many hugs, Meg. I know your sweet girl is watching over you with the same love and devotion you gave to her all her life.

Fly free, sweet Abby, fly free and know you are loved.

A Special Gift

They're a very special gift, to be cherished and loved;
You're chosen for each other by God Himself above.
It's a match made in heaven so it can't be wrong;
You're tied together by a bond that's oh so strong.

All they'll ever ask from you is to be loved and fed,
And at night make sure they have fresh water and a bed.
In return, for so little, the rewards are so great!
You'll get a companion for life with some very special traits.

When you are lost and the end seems so far away
They'll walk by your side, they'll help you find your way.
When life gets you down they can put a smile on your face
As they run you in circles with their fast pace.

You'll share the good with the bad, you'll be happy and sad;
And through it all you have a friend, the best you ever had.
You're time together will be special and unique;
It will be as priceless to you as a rare antique.

Then, before you know it, the day will arrive
When suddenly your life takes a steep dive.
The furry friend who's been with you for all of these years
Has now passed on and left you in tears.

As you sit and wonder what did I do?
Why is this all happening to you?
Into each of our lives a little rain must fall,
And you must be strong to answer the call.

Your little one's spirit has flown home on the wings of a dove,
To a special place that awaits them in heaven above.
St. Francis will meet them; when they get home
He will take them to a meadow where they're free to roam.

There in the meadows, down by the pond,
Your furry friend will remember his loving bond.
He'll look into the water, then you appear;
He can see you're frightened, he can feel your fear.

Through the bond that still ties you from heaven above
He looks down upon you, he sends you his love.
Because you loved him and because you care
Whenever you need him, he'll always be there.

There, in the meadows, they patiently wait for the day
When you will celebrate your life together, each and every day.
Waiting for that day; when you come walking back home
When together for an eternity through the meadows you'll roam.

Oh Meg, Abby is now at peace. She loves you so much! She always will. She wants you to find peace too.

Big hugs,

May the road rise up before her, the wind be at her back and until you meet again, may God hold her in the palm of His hand.
My sincerest sympathy,
Gail and Icy, Paige and Jamison

Dear Meg,

You have been in my thoughts and my heart ever since hearing the news about Abby. It has just taken me a little while to be able to write any words down. I have been visiting your photo album daily, and savoring all the images of sweet Abby that are there. I keep revisiting this one in particular. I don't know exactly when it was taken, but somehow it brings special comfort to me as I hope it does to you, too.

In that photo, Abby looks to me as if she was already beginning her journey onward. She knew exactly where she was headed, but with a loving smile backward, to let you know that she was fine and for you not to worry. "I am moving on, Mom, I am ready to move on." With the sun on her face, and the green grass ahead, she was already halfway an angel, testing her legs for the steps ahead.

No matter how much pain you've had to endure yourself, Meg, I believe that Abby's spirit knew just how to protect itself from physical pain. When the time came that her body failed, Abby's spirit was already safely on her way and making her passage into the sunshine.

Nobody and nothing can ever replace her. I can only imagine how dearly you are missing her now. My prayer for you is that when you are missing her the most, you can close your eyes and imagine her as she looked back at you so lovingly right at that beautiful sunny moment. She knew she was meant to go ahead first, but also knew that your love will always bind and connect you until the day you follow, after you've lived out your own life to its fullest just as Abby did. Your beautiful sweet angel, forever in your heart.

I am so sorry Meg! There are no words to take away your pain .. sending virtual hugs to you in this tough time.
