In Memory...

Dolly

1995 - November 6, 2007



We had to let Dolly leave us today, for a place where she'll be able to be happy and healthy again. We had hoped it would be a diagnosis of diabetes, but instead it was kidney and liver failure. She would have let us do the "heroics" but why? As I've done with my others, I held the vein off so the drugs could let her go. And, I wept as I felt her still in my arms. I hope Libby and Via were waiting for her, and that every squirrel in the Summerlands is afraid.

Thank you for letting us love you, and for loving us back. Our hearts ache without you here.

I'm sorry Kate. I know this is very hard on and your family, but I hope you find comfort in her memories and that she's in heaven without pain.

You are in my prayers.

*Hugs*

I'm sorry, Kate. There's been far too much loss hitting far too close to home lately.
