He saw the roads were getting rough, and the hills were hard to climb. So He closed your weary eyelids, and whispered peace be thine.  

Father we entrust our sister to your mercy. You loved her greatly in this life: now that she is freed from all its cares, give her happiness and peace for ever. Welcome her now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit for ever and ever.  

May you always walk in sunshine And God’s love around you flow, For the happiness you gave us, No one will ever know. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home. A million times we needed you, A million times we’ve cried. If love could only have saved you, You never would have died. The Lord be with you and May you rest in peace. Any donations the family requests to make them to animal shelters...

Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
