In Memory

 


Weep Not For Me

Weep not for me though I am gone into that gentle night.
Grieve if you will, but not for long upon my soul's sweet flight.
I am at peace; my soul's at rest there is no need for tears.


For with your love I was so blessed for all those many years.
There is no pain; I suffer not, the fear now all is gone.
Put now these things out of your thoughts, in your memory I live on.


Remember not my fight for breath Remember not the strife.
Please do not dwell upon my death, but celebrate my life.

 
 Sadly we said goodbye to Pushkins in March 2010.  
He came to us as a starving, terrified kitten and made the most beautiful, gentle, loving creature.   Pushkins brought so much love into our lives and will be missed forever.  
Annie & Joe.
 

 

LADY

 Sadly missed by Joan and Noel
 

 

Ruby our cat put to sleep last Tuesday (6th April).  She was 15yrs old and had a good life but we are still sad and the house seems empty without her. 

If Tears Could Build A Stairway

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye,
You were gone before I knew it, and only God knows why.
My heart's still active in sadness, and secret tears still flow;
What it meant to lose you no one can ever know.
But now I know you want me to mourn for you no more,
To remember all the happy times; life still has much in store.
Since you'll never be forgotten, I pledge to you today:
A hallowed place within my heart is where you'll always stay.

In Loving Memory of Ruby



 

Bernie (Dog Rescue Ireland) sadly said goodbye to Tiny this week.

FROM AN OLDER DOG…..TO YOU, IN HOPE………

You glance at me and walk on past and then I hear you say…

“He’s too old, mightn’t have him long”….. just because my beard is grey.

 “We don’t know his past or where he’s been… the neglect he might have had…”

and as I cannot talk to you that makes me really sad……..AS…………

 I may not be that bold youngster you’re desperately searching for

or have that puppyish appeal BUT I have SO much more.

 I don’t chew, don’t wet the floor I can be left a while

without destroying all your things or the need to walk for miles….

I will pay you back with all my love for a cuddle and some praise

and do my very best for you to brighten up your days.

So I ask you now to stop and think while I offer you my paw

that perhaps an older friend could be your soul mate evermore?

In memory of George June 2009

Your memory will live on; in each one of us
you'll always be number 1; to all of us
Have a safe journey; through the night
I promise when you awake; you'll be in God's light

So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes
just for now my friend; we say goodbye

WHEN TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME
Author Unknown

When tomorrow starts without me, And I'm not there to see;
The sun will rise and find your eyes All filled with tears for me.

I wish so much you wouldn't cry The way you did today,
Remembering how I'd lay my head In your lap that special way.
I know how much you love me, As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too.

But when tomorrow starts without me. Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name And petted me with her hand.
She said my place was ready, In Heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind All those I dearly love.

But, as I turned to heel away, A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life I never thought That I would have to die.
I had so much to live for, So many sits and downs to do,
It seemed almost impossible, That I was leaving you.

I thought about our lives together, I know you must be sad,
I thought of all the love we shared, And all the fun we had.

Remember how I'd nudge your hand, And poke you with my nose?
The frisbee I would gladly chase, The bad guy, I'd "bark and hold".

If I could relive yesterday, Just even for awhile, I'd wag my tail and kiss you,
Just so I could see you smile.

But, then I fully realized, That this could never be; For emptiness and memories
Will take the place of me. And when I thought of treats and toys,
I might miss come tomorrow, I thought of you and when I did,
My dog-heart filled with sorrow.

But then I walked through Heaven's gate, And felt so much at home;
As God looked down and smiled at me, From His beautiful golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity, And now we welcome you,
Today your life on earth is past, But here it starts anew.

I promise no tomorrow, But today will always last;
For you see, each days's the same day, There's no longing for the past.
Now you have been so faithful, So trusting, loyal and true;
Though there were times you did things, You knew you shouldn't do.

But good dogs are forgiven, And now at last you're free;
So won't you sit here by my side, And wait right here with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me, Don't think we're far apart.
For every time you think of me, I'm right there, in your heart.


       

              Lassie & Alice - best friends.   Dear creatures sadly missed.
