Barbara Helgason June 26, 2007

Thank you everyone. We miss her so much, more than I could put into words. I think only other dog lovers can possibly relate. So many moments in every day, in so many different ways I think of her. My only comfort is that we gave her a wonderful long life and alot of love and that she went very peacefully and that we all had a chance to say goodbye. I just wish she could have had one more summer.... she loved summers, the warmth, the sunshine, keeping me company in the garden.... #4442207

Take care. #4551564
