| MAY I GO? MAY I GO NOW? DO YOU THINK THE TIME IS RIGHT? I'VE LIVED MY LIFE AND DONE MY BEST, AN EXAMPLE TRIED TO BE. SO CAN I TAKE THAT STEP BEYOND AND SET MY SPIRIT FREE? I DIDN'T WANT TO GO AT FIRST, I FOUGHT WITH ALL MY MIGHT, BUT SOMETHING SEEMS TO DRAW ME NOW TO A WARM AND LOVING LIGHT. I WANT TO GO, I REALLY DO, IT'S DIFFICULT TO STAY. BUT I WILL TRY AS BEST I CAN TO LIVE JUST ONE MORE DAY. TO GIVE YOU TIME TO CARE FOR ME AND SHARE YOUR LOVE AND FEARS. I KNOW YOU'RE SAD AND AFRAID, BECAUSE I SEE YOUR TEARS. I'LL NOT BE FAR, I PROMISE THAT, AND HOPE YOU'LL ALWAYS KNOW THAT MY SPIRIT WILL BE CLOSE TO YOU WHEREVER YOU MAY GO. THANK YOU SO FOR LOVING ME. YOU KNOW I LOVE YOU, TOO. THAT'S WHY IT'S HARD TO SAY GOODBYE AND END THIS LIFE WITH YOU. SO HOLD ME NOW JUST ONE MORE TIME AND LET ME HEAR YOU SAY, BECAUSE YOU CARE SO MUCH FOR ME, YOU'LL LET ME GO TODAY. AUTHOR UNKNOWN |

| Joey-bird. Wow what a beautiful bird he was. I only had him for 3 months and found I was extremely scared of this very large boy. A friend took him home and a great relationship started but within 6 months, Joey became ill and passed away on his 8th birthday. Very sad. 1998 to 2006 |

| Our Gus-Gus. He lived to be just under 17 years of age. We brought him home when our oldest son was a few months old. They grew up together. His health was very good, it was his back legs that gave in. 1985 to 2001 |

| Caylee-dawn was with us for a short but wonderful 91/2 years. To this day we don't really know what happened. Her heart just gave up. 1992 to 2001 |

| Spitz....our famous cat. She was our youngest son's best friend. If you'd have known her, you knew to stay away as she would've attacked. She was a better guard "dog" than our dogs. Any strangers came around.....look out. She cornered one of my pregnant friends!!(She's alright) We were fortunate to have her guard us for 13 years. 1991 to 2004 |

| This was Bucky..He, along with Oreo were my little buddies that played with any member of the family...even the horses. Great, great companions. Bucky was traumatized at a very young age by watching his two siblings attacked by a bear and later in life was also taken by a bear. A very sad and depressing time for the whole family. I was very fortunate to have had them 3 years. 2000 to 2003 |

| Goldy-my first best friend. I bought Goldy when I was 10 years old. He was my first horse and we taught each other many things. Enjoyed frequent rides for 13 years. I had to put my buddy down at the age of 26. He is buried in his favorite pasture with all his belongings. I purchased Goldy, all tack and brushes for $150.00 ----the best $150.00 I ever spent. 1958 to 1984 |

| "SLEEP IN PEACE" We named her Brook, she was born on May 18, 2008 and was 22" at birth. This beautiful little filly only survived 26 hours. Due to complications, we had to euthanase her May 19, 2008......we will never forget her, she was our first little angel. Brook was out of our Gracie-Mae and Ritz. |
