our sister Tansy.

We had some very sad news last Thursday. Our sister Tansy who had been poorly for a short time had died. Tansy was really beautiful and she was a wonderful showdog, pet and Auntie Evelyn's princess. She was 11 years and 9 months old. We found a poem just for her.

BEYOND THE RAINBOW

I loved the life we had and all the times we played, but
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade

I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, an on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful - lush and green and wide
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright glow pierced the night
"Twas the glow of many candles, shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in it's brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be
We are still connected by a cord no one can see
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

until we all meet again, love to Tansy from Jethro, Calypso, Faith and Emily. Also from Roy and Eirwen xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I’d like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I’d like to leave a lovely glow
of smiles when life is done,
I’d like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing
times and bright and
summer days.
I’d like the tears of those who
grieve, to dry before the sun,
Of happy memories that I leave
When life is done.

sleep well Auntie Billie until we all meet again. Grace and the reds xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
