My beloved Marley crossed the Rainbow Bridge today after a very bad night. He is no longer suffering or in pain. He could not walk today, and has shown no indication of being "Marley" since Monday. I saw this day coming but it doesn't mean I am ready for it. I said my good-byes over the last few weeks, and held him closely. I didn't think I had anymore tears left today but I was wrong. I am thankful for Gail and Edwin who met me at the vet's and went with me to "Paws to Heaven -A Pet's Final Journey." It is a government sponsored place. I could not have gone alone. They treated Marley with respect. All the way there I told funny Marley stories, to remember the fun times and try not to cry. My friend Debbie and the kids came over as well.
I'll post some of my favorite photos and stories later. Just wanted to let you know. Thank you for your prayers and POTP. Marley is finally at perfect peace.
Love,
Lady
Safe travels mate. Peace and respects to those you knew an loved,

We are so sorry. Please know who much Marley was loved around the world! Our Mom loved reading about his adventures. So glad it did not happen while you were away. Please know that he is running free and will be with you again some day. I feel so bad you never received the towels I made for you as they had Marley's picture on them. They would be a comfort to you now. Ms. Saundra, Emmy and Cocoa
