April 1, 1989~July 17, 2001

Our beloved Suzu left us only a short time ago.

She has spent the past twelve years loving us for who we are

unconditionally. She has become one of our best friends ever. We looked

forward to her greeting me each morning with a cheerful hello. She was

always one to express her feelings and spoke her mind quite freely. The

only thing that she would ask for in return was a warm lap to curl up on.

She was at her most content just sleeping on my lap or in the ray of

sunshine that came through the window.

Unfortunately we discovered six months ago that she had a rare form of

cancer, hemangiosarcoma. She was operated on and had the cancerous tumor and

her spleen removed. As a result of this, she proceeded to live six extra

joy filled months, until the cancer returned. She became sick again and we

realized that the best thing we could do for our friend was to let her go.

It was the most difficult decision that we have ever had to make.

We know that God was with us during that most difficult time. We know that

Suzu is waiting for us at Rainbow Bridge. She is healthy and not suffering

any longer. We do miss her terribly and have shed enough tears to last

anyone a lifetime! I miss touching her and having her sit on me. I miss

looking at that sweet little face.

The thing I miss most of all is that it is too quite in my house now that

she is gone. The silence is more painful than anything else.

We love and you Suzu!! 

Love, Mom and Dad
