To lose someone so close to your heart is beyond what words can describe. You developed such a strong bond and relationship with everyone you met. You greeted everyone with warm open arms and a friendly smile. You have made such a strong impact on so many people's lives that will never be forgotten. Aside from being a great person in general, you were an amazing husband and terrific father. Now that you are no longer suffering from pain, you can watch over the ones you love like you did when you were alive. I bet you were already greeted by your best friend on the rainbow bridge with tons of kisses and a tail that wouldn't stop wagging. You have made your last and most important journey in life and one day we will all be together again.
