Rememering a Friend

Ten years ago today
we said goodbye to
a dear friend,
so sad was that day.

Farewell, farewell
Brandon we miss
you still.

This day we honor
you by rememering
your memories and
you will never be forgotten.

Your picture is still
in our minds and hearts
today is a new begining
we will keep your
memories alive.

in memory of our dog brandon died june 14, 1997

Aw, so very sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is devastating. I have never gotten over the loss of my childhood dog who lived for 17 years. She was my best friend. A beautiful tribute. Love, Shar

Hello James, I loved these words. Only someone who has truly loved their dog as a dear friend, can understand the loss. We too have been down this road, but the memories of our Shiloh make me smile. I hope you find another "best friend"...we did, and he's also a sweet dog. Good luck to you. ...Carrie
