FAREWELL MY LOVELY ABBIE 7/5/2004 - 28/11/2013

[Angela Clarke]

It is with a heavy heart, we said good-bye to Abbie today. We will always love and remember you sweet princess.

[Cornelia]

Dear Angela, I am so very sorry to read those sad news - I read her story and how you gave your all for her. The love and care she had with you was certainly one of the best that any dog could wish. Run free now sweet girl! We're thinking of you all...

[Sharyn Latchford]

Rest in Peace pretty girl

[Michelle Webster]

So very sad to read this news, my heart goes out to you Angela. Another star shines bright in the sky tonight.

[Kimberly Simmons]

Oh Angela, how heartbreaking....I can't help but cry for this girl that we all loved here on ES. She will be greatly missed and Cornelia said it all. Abbie had a wonderfully loving life with your family.....She will watch over you now....xx

Dear Angela, The tears are streaming down my face. I feel so devastated for you, and for Abbie, and your family. Abbie was a beautiful girl, and she was too young to leave. But there is absolutely nothing any of us who love our dogs so much can do about this. I am thinking of you. Susan and her English Setter kids xxxx

I couldn`t write much yesterday, I just want to say that with all of Abbie`s problems none of them took her from us. she had a tumour and passing pure blood after urinating. Today I cannt concentrate on much. I have been doing lots of trips down memory lane and writing about how it was....

We walked the grasslands & beaches, together on these easterly shores.

We left our mark upon the sands Imprints of feet and doggy paws.

Now as Sofie laid beside you and licked your Face and ears,

showing you so much affection with kindness but no tears.

I wonder was she trying to tell us, you really are in pain,

“Mum please help our Abbie don’t put her through this again.”

You laid your head upon my lap, please no more pain or fear

“Oh! Mum you know what you must do, though I`m the one that you hold dear”

You looked at me with your soft brown eyes, the eyes that I adore,

As if you wanted to tell me “mum I just can`t take much more, now it`s time

for us to part and go our separate ways, today you must remember our very happy days.

Our days, our months our happy years, Remember then through grieving tears.

These memories you shall have forever, of the time we walked and played together.

                Although you may not see me, I`ll be buried in your heart,

           and wait for you at Rainbow bridge, till no longer we`re apart.”

I love you now, I always will, my sweet Abbie up until…….. the breath in my body has gone.

Oh...Angela....I could hardly read your beautiful memorial to dear Abbie, because the words swam before my eyes....Having never met, I still woke this morning knowing something was "wrong", then I recalled your loss. I cherish the friendships that I've made with my pen pals on ES! Love Kim and Dougal xx
