We are so sorry for you and for your family. We know how much Bear was loved. Bear passed in your arms knowing she was loved - she wasn't alone at the end. We pray she is playing at the Bridge right now with no breathing problems!

So sorry for your loss. :( I know that all of you loved Bear very much and as others have said, she died knowing she was loved, in your arms.

You have my deepest condolences. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. Bear will now be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.

ML, I'm so sorry to hear about Bear. I agree with everyone and know that she not only knew she was loved but felt it in her heart and soul. She loved you all right back and was comfortable to finally relax in your arms. I'm sure it meant everything to her to be with her family in the end. God Bless you all. She's at rest now.
Love from Kim and Oscar

I'm sorry to hear about Bear. SHe was the sweetest wooffie I ever heard about. I'm glad she was happy in your arms when she left. I think it would be terrible to go to the bridge with no loved one around.

We're so sorry that Miss Bear went on ahead to Rainbow Bridge. What a lucky woofie, she'll be welcomed by woofies and poodins too! I know she'll spend her time playing with all her new frends, leaping and dancing, so happy that she is healthy once more. BEar knows how much you loved her and that you did everything you could do for her. She is watching over you now, waiting for the day when you are all together again.

Mary Lynn, I too am so sorry to hear about Bear. I think we all knew this could happen soon but that doesn't make it one iota easier to take. I think it was wonderful, though, that she died at home, in your arms, knowing how much she was loved. It sounds like KC was telling Bear how much KC loved Bear too.

Tara said...

Lots of tears here. This will be a very hard day for all of you, but let it be that way, you all need to grieve. Bear was very lucky to have died at home in loving arms. She joins all of our past loved ones waiting at the Bridge for us.

If Your Knew
by Steven Kinworthy

If you knew where I am standing
If you could see the sights I see
If you could hear the angels singing
The songs they sing eternally
If you knew the One I'm holding
Could see the smile He smiles at me
If you knew where I am resting
You would not cry for me

I'm resting in the arms of Jesus
No other place would I rather be
So if you shed a tear
Please don't shed it for me
For if you knew where I am resting
You would not cry for me

We are so sorry for your loss. Bear sounded like a very nice dog, and any dog that is a friend of cats is a friend of ours. She gave and received lots of love in her short life, and that's what it's all about.

We're so sorry to hear of Bears passing. She knew love right to the end and is now a happy pup at the Bridge. We will be thinking of you and saying purrayers. Those left behind are the ones who hurt, the ones who feel loss. Those who have gone feel the joy of being made whole again, the time to the meeting of their loved ones is short.
