In Memory of Miss Sammy Rosa May 30, 2010
Today, there was no gentle nudge With an intense "I love you gaze", Only a heart that's filled with tears Remembering our joy filled days.
But an Angel just appeared to me, And he said, "You should cry no more, GOD also loves our Rottweilers, HE's installed a 'doggy-door"! Jan Cooper '95

In Memory of Tilly Rescued January 2007 - Adopted March 2007 - Crossed the Rainbow Bridge August 19, 2010
The true rescue was the blessed day Tilly entered my life. She truly rescued my heart. It was an honor being her human. Little "Tilly McGill" touched so many hearts with her joyful presence. She loved to play, travel, snuggle, hog the bed and camp out in Aunt Debbie's kitchen. Oh yes, and the occasional "cat food" treat. She is dearly missed and will forever be in my heart! I Love You Tilly!

In Memory of Luke Graeff October 3, 2010
Luke came into my life quite accidentally - I was only designated to transport him to a rescue group - But his sweet nature and loving eyes took my heart and he rescued me instead. Luke shared his ever-wagging-tail for me for 6 years - even when he was feeling his worst in the last days he would always wag that tail hard against his bed when I came home. I miss his nightly belly rubs - "Rub The Buda's Belly" as it was known in our home. He will live forever in our memories and hearts - he was definitely my boy.

In Memory of Beanie Su (Sabrina Su) 8/15/94 - 9/10/10
Beanie Su was loved and cherished since she was 4 days old and spent 16 wonderful years with her family. While she loved playing with her toys, sunning herself & lounging in her comfy beds she truly adored the time she spent in the laps and arms of her family. She now lives on forever in the hearts of Susan (Su) and Maurice who miss her so.

Our little "Bink-Bink". We miss you so very much Sweet Baby Girl. You were our first baby & you taught us how to be parents, among so many other things. Mama can't wait to hold you again one day in a far better place. Thank you for being our perfect little princess, always a lady.
In Loving Memory of Jacob Haskins November 21, 2010
My baby boy Jacob crossed the Bridge, he was 14 years old. My Jacob was a good boy that loved his mommy and his mommy loved him. We only had each other for 2 1/2 years but it was a loving time. The one blessing about him crossing is that he's not in pain anymore. I will miss him forever.

In Memory of Mr. Murphy November 8, 2010
Mr. Murphy was his name. - He lived his life without any pain. Then one day the doctors said - He has an inoperable tumor, and now he is in pain. A decision that was so hard to make. - However, we couldn’t be selfish so. A decision we had to make, we let him cross over the bridge tonight.
Memories of Murphy are all around us, his toys, his bowl, and his special blanket. God gave us 12 years of our special friend, It was tough to say Good bye my little friend. I know he will always be with me in spirit and in the heart, so I told Mr. Murphy to sit by the pearly gate and wait until I will come, and then we can have fun and ride the golf cart through them pearly gates.
In Memory of Allan and Muriel Coats December 13, 2010
Thank you for being the best grandparents a girl could ever ask for. I’ll love and miss you forever and you will always live on in my heart.
Love, Amy
