I shall see beauty
but none to match
your living grace,
I shall hear music
but none as sweet
as the droning song
with which you loved me,
I shall fill my days
but I shall not,
cannot forget.
Sleep soft, dear friend. . .

My family is not confined
to mother, mate, and child;
but it includes all creatures
be they tame or wild;
my family upon this earth
includes all living things,
on land, in the ocean deep,
or borne aloft on wings.

May the souls of all wild animals
who have left the
earth,
from the smallest insects
to the largest
whales,
be blessed and surrounded
with love for all time.
Let us
give thanks for
the beauty, grace, functions and gifts
they brought to
the earth.

Dear Clients, Friends, and Web Site Visitors,
For many of us, the easiest and most
rewarding thing in life
on earth is to love and be loved by animals.
And the
hardest and most excruciating thing is often
when we must
say goodbye. When the souls of ones we love so
profoundly leave their bodies, it can feel
like the very light of
the whole world has
left, leaving us in darkness and pain.
To all of you who have lost a beloved animal,
may your
hearts be filled with and surrounded by
gentle support and
tender
yet powerful love. May the gifts your animals
brought to you
be integrated into your life and way of being
with gratitude
and grace. And may you find peace in the
strength of the
ever-lasting love between you. May you feel
their Light, and have joy again in your life
on earth.
Thank you, for being a person on earth who
loves the
animals as they deserve to be loved.
Blessings and Love,
Teresa

The following is a small,
partial listing and
tribute to my clients' animals who have
crossed over during
the approximate period of the last twelve
months.
Please join me in sending
loving blessings
for the journey of
the souls of these animals--who've brought
such joy, grace
and love to their persons' lives~
May the magnificent and beloved souls of all
animals
who have left the earth be blessed,
now
and for all
time.
May they feel the depth of our gratitude and
love for
having
graced the earth and our lives with their
splendid
presence.
And may the hearts of the grieving humans and
animals they
left behind be blessed and deeply comforted
in their
pain. .

run off together on his first day in Heaven.
And... instead of flowers growing it is
seaweed growing and Hunter gets to eat all he
wants! There are no Heavenly bodies for it
to get stuck in. He's so happy , he's
chomping away on the seaweed growing instead
of the flowers. But for Sabrina there are
flowers , she's rolling tumbling laughing and
now she has her brother and their looking
down at Luke with a smile on their face
saying all is well in heaven! Cindy, of CA
