In Memory of a Special Friend

 
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross one day.
 
No more they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.

By: Brenda Murphy   A Tribute to: Cisco

My beloved Cisco, Not a day goes by in which I do not see you someplace in the house. I miss the sound of your foot steps. You will forever be in my heart and hold a special place. Your knowing eyes and comforting nudges are greatly missed. I know you are no longer suffering and you can run and jump again. I must remind myself of this. The tears continue to fall, but the memories make me smile. Take Care my dear friend

You came into my life at one of it's lowest points. I was fighting cancer, and you helped me through it with your sweet presence. You taugth us all the meaning of unconditional love. I miss you and think of you every day.I know I will see you again, but until then, wait patiently.

"In Memory of Curtis "
Dec. 22, 2009

I am standing upon the seashore.  A ship at my side 
spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and 
starts for the blue  ocean.  She is an object of beauty 
and strength.  I stand and watch her until at length 
she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the 
sea and sky come to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says:
 "There, she is gone!"
"Gone where?"
Gone from my sight.  That is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she
 was when she left my side, and she is just as able to 
bear her load of living freight to her destined port.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her. 
 And just at the moment when someone at my side says, 
"There, she is gone!"        
there are other eyes watching her coming,
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout:
"Here she comes!"
And that is dying. 

Fly With The Angels Curtis....

I know that it was time for you to leave.. Now you are pain free and running around all over heaven.

You are gone from my sight..but the love you gave me never departs. Forever you will have a special place in my heart.
