In memory of Gizzie Hedden who passed away November 17, 1999.
Farewell
Tears coursing down my cheeks
the pain is raw and deep.
Her memories are fresh and haunting
memories I'll always keep.
She was never just an animal
she was pet, relative, and friend.
We are left with broken hearts
that I hope in time will mend.
She was so very sweet and precious
it was so hard to say goodbye.
Her heart was filled with love for us
I can only think of her and cry.
The life we shared is over now
we will miss her sweet and loving face.
We have loved her so completely
none could ever take her place.
I firmly wipe the tears away
trying not to dwell upon this pain.
But she was so much a part of us
our lives will never be the same.
Gizzi, you've left an empty place
if only you didn't have to die.
But someday we will think of you
and no longer hurt and cry.
Your memory will never fade
our love for you will never cease.
You will always be in our hearts
Farewell Lil' Giz, rest in peace.
We will always miss you Lil' Giz.
Missie and Bryan

In Memory of Gizzie
Nov. 17, 1999
You touched so many lives - your first human, who adored you; his children, who continued that love; and then my family, which you gave joy and happiness and complete love in your twilight years.
I love this picture of you and my daughter Summer - it shows what your life was like those last couple of months - you were loved. And we know you loved us.
Sleep well, Lil' Giz. I miss you so much I can't stop crying. But I'm glad you were here. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Angie, Summer and Savannah, and the cats, Isabella and Dillon.
