Even now, you feel your precious one near…
The nudge at night as you sleep. The feeling that they are still
here, that they will always be around. They will always be with you
in spirit.
I would suggest that you get a bottle of bubbles.
The ones children play with and blow these bubbles toward heaven.
These are kisses we are sending our dear ones…ever in our
hearts, ever in our mind, always in our lives.
Also, I would be honored to put a picture and
caption upon my website under pet memorials for your beloved
friend.
Blessings,
Rev. Elizabeth
