Penny, our sweet girl,
you came to me on the breath of winter,
before the snow fell—
a small guardian with a fierce heart
and a gentle soul.
For sixteen years,
you have walked beside me.
Through every change,
every heartbreak,
every joy—
you have been my protector,
my comfort,
my truest companion.
We grew together,
healed together,
held each other close.
And now,
We give you our final gift—
freedom,
peace,
and dignity.
May your crossing be gentle,
wrapped in love.
May you be received across the rainbow bridge with open arms.
May your spirit stretch and soar—
whole and free,
tail high,
eyes bright,
proud of the life you lived with us.
You have left pawprints on our hearts
that time will never fade.
Go now, beloved,
across the rainbow bridge.
The wind is at your back,
the earth cradles your rest,
and the stars are waiting to guide you home.
Till we meet again, sweet girl—
in the green hills beyond time.
Blessed be.
