Words simply cannot express how much I miss your companionship and the loss that I feel is almost unbearable. What I wouldn't give for more time together. You suffered so much in the final 4 months of your life but I could not bear to let you go. You shed your earthly form on Christmas day and I know that you did not die but God relieved you of all your suffering on that day.

Just want to tell the world how much joy you gave everyday with your joyful presence and the bond that we had was from the minute we first met until that final moment that you entered into eternity. The bond is still there because my memories of our time together have stayed with me. I have learned so much about life from our time together. I have also learned about "death" which I see more as a transition. I hope so much that you have been reunited with your canine family and that you are surrounded by unconditional love in heaven. You are beautiful in every sense of the word and I am completely devoted to the Coton de Tulear breed because of you. You brought me so much joy, so much understanding of life. You are precious beyond words to me. I could not have survived all the difficulties life put in my path without the love that you gave me.

To all who visit, thank you for spending time with Abby's memorial. I greatly appreciate your kind messages as well. Abby, I have learned that we all crave unconditional acceptance and love within our family and when that does not happen it created incredible distress. I think that emotion is what bonded me with you. I felt an immediate bond with you from the beginning. On the ride home from NY I held you in my arms and you were hopeful but also afraid. You then realized how much you were loved and that changed everything - my beautiful Abby - you are perfect in every way just as the Lord created you!

With Love,
Susan
