Memorial For Maddie: A Beloved Dog

Our hearts go out to Joanne, and her family, who's wonderful canine companion, Maddie, crossed to the Rainbow Bridge this past Saturday.

Joanne described him as a "wonderful Golden retriever with such an outgoing personality. The house seems empty without her."

Only seven years old, which of course makes her loss so much harder for the family, but her rapidly failing health was so sudden and severe, that they were faced with that difficult decision, to give Maddie the final gift of love . . . to end her suffering. Maddie passed to the bridge peacefully, surrounded by her floving amily.

Their other Golden misses Maddie terribly, but Joanne truly believes that Maddie said her final "goodbye" to her canine pal.Mikey, on Friday when she kissed his face. Their cats also acknowleded her illness and passing.

Joanne ended by saying, "What a hole in our household this loss has made. I know time heals but we miss her terribly.

Please send healing prayers to Joanne and her entire family by leaving a comment of prayerful well wishes.
