Farewell, Callie

***************

My sister Evelyne and her husband Richard had to put their beautiful dog, Callie, to sleep yesterday.

What a wonderful 12 year old dog she was!

Being free to explore and play with Caroline and Larry's dogs all year long..she will be missed by all of the family that loved her!

We send you our love and sympathy!

Goodbye

With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes after all these years;

we must say goodbye

Please understand;

we've done all we could if there was anything we could do; you know we would

I'm sitting right here; gently rub your ears while

I talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears

The memories you gave us; we'll never forget

specially the ones; of the day we all met

One last hug; and one last kiss you have no idea;

how much you'll be missed

To look into your eyes; this one last time you tell me it's ok;

you know it's your time

Close your eyes now; and go to sleep

we'll pray to the Lord; your soul he'll keep

Go in peace now; our good friend

we'll stay right here with you; until the end

Dream of that special day and time

when we'll meet at the Bridge; and all will be fine

We'll run and play; side by side

with a soft warm feeling; deep down inside

Your memory will live on; in each one of us

you'll always be number 1; to all of us

Have a safe journey; through the night

I promise when you awake; you'll be in God's light

So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes

just for now my friend; we say goodbye
