Ike Got us after all

[Westwood Farms]

I got a call today, another group of people went to check my place, and they were counting heads. I told them to look for my daughters Quarter horse, Grace. She did not come up to eat. Well, they found her, under trees. I am devastated, and I cannot tell her, especially since we are displaced. So, for now, I just cry to myself. Savannah will be crushed. She adored her horse, and Grace adored her. She was the best horse.

So, You are now with my nugget my friend Grace

In Memory of Nugget 1982-June 2008( my best friend we lost due to age this summer) and an Ike Victim Grace 2000-2008 my daughters best friend....

oh you poor thing and little Savannah. Tell her Grace went to get her wings and went to a special stable in heaven. Tell her we all happen to know the boy that runs the barns there and she'll get great care daily because we've got connections. And whenever she feels a light breeze across her face, that will be Grace visiting her, and watching her grow.

 

[Gini]

I'm so sorry for your losses. Please give Savannah some extra hugs from all of us this will be so hard on her.

[SIZE=12pt] Rainbow Bridge[/SIZE]

Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
