Goodbye, Dear Friend

Chessa-Roo
4/30/94-7/27/09

It is with a sad and heavy heart that I say goodbye to a dear and special friend who has been by my side through thick and thin, through sickness and in good health for 13 years. We've spent many hours together, she with love in her eyes and a purr always at the ready for whomever walked in the door as everyone was always there to see her (at least in her mind). In Russian, Chessa means Bearer of Peace and Calm. And she always has been, instilling it in our home daily. It is a sad day today knowing that she no longer brings that gift to our home and that we'll no longer have her wanting love and affection from us pretty much all the time. We will miss you, Roo, but know you've gone on to a place where your love-bucket is now full to over-flowing and that you don't hurt any more. What more could I wish for for you?

I am so sorry, dear friend, and am with you in thought, prayer and Spirit.
Chessa-Roo, we love you and are SO thankful for being so blessed by you for all those years. You are the biggest love in the smallest body... God filled you to over-flowing with love, and we all have been the lovingly grateful recipients of that.
We love you.
