For The Love Of Sweet Lily Girl
Tags:Our sweet Lily girl passed away peacefully yesterday after an awesome last run on the beach she loved so much.
She was the most fabulous friend and we will miss her everyday. She had a wonderfully full life during her 12+ years with us. She especially loved going hunting with Chris or my Dad, running on the beach, and hanging out with me in my office.
She was my constant companion and was by my side during all the best and most challenging times. I had the thought today that maybe she stayed around (she was very sick in the summer of 2011 but pulled through) to be with me during the time I needed her most.
I am so thankful she was a part of my life.
Love you Lily girl. Thank you.

Oh Ali,
I'm so sorry for your loss. We lost our beloved lab just before Christmas last year and it was heartbreaking. Sending hugs to you and your family.

Oh Ali, I am so sorry. I can feel your grief because I, too, lost my dear old lab friend after 14 years. He, too, was with me through some very tough time, but always faithful and comforting. That was a couple years ago and I still miss him terribly. I'm keeping you and your family in my heart.

My heart goes out to you and your family. It will be hard for awhile to come home and not have her their to greet you. Remembering the quote from Dr. Seuss helped me with loss - "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened." take care, darla
