How sweet that she passed under the C-mas tree. Rest in peace sweet Libby. :(

Ditto to what everyone has said. C-you at the vigil tonight.

That's how it was with Mom's first cat, Bigotes. The time was near, but the decision was taken out of Mom's hands. It's ok to feel relieved that you didn't have to put her to sleep.

Our thots an prayers are wif you now, as you grieve. You will always love Libby and she knows it.

Bless you all. I'm so glad she left in peace knowing she was loved.

My mother's hands were always cool and soft.
And like her eyes they would caress with every touch.
She would listen to my chatter
As if every word I spoke mattered.
She'd hold me close and whisper in my ear.

She'd say, "girl you are part of me
I have made you strong
When you grow up and are on your own
Remember to win them with your song".

-Cowboy Junkies

Sing your sweet song at the Bridge little girl.

ONLY THE BEST

A heart of gold stopped beating,
two shining eyes at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove,
He only takes the best.

God knows you had to leave us,
but you did not go alone,
for part of us went with you,
the day He took you home.

To some you are forgotten,
to others just part of the past,
but to us who loved and lost you,
the memory will always last.

Hope said...

OH god, I know how you are feeling right now. I too have had a baby die from being real sick. He was just 2 months old little calico/tabby mixed. The vet could not tell what it was. It made me so mad cause i wanted to keep him. He had so much life ahead of him. From the time he was born he was soo sick. All night and day he would mew mew and mew... I could not sleep cause he needed me there. He would not eat any wet foof or drink any milk i tried to feed him. He died in my arms and i felt the life leave him and he mewed at me for one last time and went. OH libby We will miss you hunny. Libbies family I know how you are feeling. GOd Bless you and I hope the passing of Libby Brings Strength and love to your family. Libby's beautiful. My cat Snickers would sit at the desk with me when we viewed her page and meow at libbies picture. She always would paw at the screen. and turn to look at me like she was trying to tell me something. Here at the Shepherd family we are so sorry about your loss. But know that loss will bring great new things. She was so beautiful OH GOd *crys*

ANGEL ABBYGRACE said...

Abby

I am very sorry to hear about Libby. But, the loss is softened by her being at home surrounded by the love that she knew all her life. Remember her as she lived and it will give you much peace. Just know that she is now pain free and running and jumping and playing with all the others who have gone before her. She will be waiting for you near the Bridge. Fear not for she will watch over you and wait patiently.

Do Not Mourn My Passing
Do not mourn my passing for if you could only see
by slipping all my earthly bonds, I'm young again and free.
By day I run the Heavenly fields, my body healthy and strong
At night I sleep at Angels' Feet, lulled by Celestial Song.
So do not mourn my passing, just close your eyes - you'll see
I'm once again that frisky pup, just as you remember me.

We're so sorry to hear about Libby. We're glad she had you to love her and do everything you could for her.

R. said...

Having recently suffered a loss of our own, I know how deeply painful this time is for you and I am deeply sorry that you have to experience the pain of Libby's departure.

The only advice I can give is: extra-soft Kleenex.

My nose is a raw, sore mess from using the ordinary stuff these past two weeks. No sense in making the pain worse, right?

We posted some pretty snowdrop flowers for you on our blog yesterday.
