A Place Where Angels Sing

My body now rests beneath autumn soil, for I am no longer here. I know you're sad, but please believe; in spirit, I'm always near. And although my remains are now in the earth, my soul forever lives on. So cherish your memories and grieve for awhile, but don't let it last too long. I transitioned home like a bird on the wing and reside in a place where angels sing. Surrounded by love, my soul travels free, and exploring the heavens is where you'll find me. My sweet little fur baby, Elle, left this world on Friday November 1st after bravely battling cancer for many months. She was 16 years old and was the kindest, sweetest little soul and ever so gentle. My heart is broken, and I'm finding it hard to get through each day without crying. I miss her terribly.

Dear Anne, I just read about your sweet baby. I'm so sorry. It's so hard to lose a much-loved pet. I hope someday you can adopt another. I bet Elle would want that. Take care, dear friend.

So many of us here, feel your loss, Anne. I can only say from experience that time really is a great healer and yet your memories of Elle will never fade. That’s me done with the platitudes… Actually,Platitudes they may be, however, they’re also very true. Enjoy your memories, Anne. Terry
