In Memoriam
Ch. Apache Hill's Pretty Woman, CD, CGC, HIC, TDI
April 27, 1995-November 14, 2002
A joy to behold, a wonderful companion, the best girl ever and the holder of my heart.
You fought so hard, and so did I.
I felt a part of my soul leave when you left.
I have to accept the decision that you made, however,
as it is yours to make and mine to respect.
I miss you, I'll love you always. Rest well, ZoZo, and wait for me.
Love,
Mom
A Parting Prayer
Please open your gates and call the Holy Ones together to come escort this beloved companion across the Rainbow Bridge.
Assign her to a place of honor, for she has been a faithful servant
and has always done her best to please me.
Bless the hands that send her to you, for they are doing so in love and compassion, freeing her from pain and suffering.
Grant me the strength not to dwell on my loss.
Help me remember the details of her lifewith the love she has shown me.
And grant me the courage to honor her by sharing those memories with others.
Let her remember me as well andlet her know that I will always love her.
And when it's my time to pass over into your paradise, please allow her
to accompany those who will bring me home.
Thank you for the gift of her companionship and for the time we've had together.
And thank you for granting me the strength to give her to you now.
As I will, So mote it be.
